It is part of the query syntax. It is equivalent to minus - operator. q=erlang!ericson is parsed into : defaultSearchField:erlang -defaultSearchField:ericson You can see this by appending &debugQuery=on to your search URL. So you need to escape ! in your case. q=erlang\!ericson will return same result set as q=erlang/ericson You can see the complete list of special charter list. http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_1/queryparsersyntax.html#Escaping Special Characters
