1. You can look at the Solr log file and see this exception:
Caused by: org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse
'title:"cycle with 24': Lexical error at line 1, column 21. Encountered:
<EOF> after : "\"cycle with 24"
at

... 22 more

2. Upgrade to Solr 4.0-BETA and Solr will give you this response:
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">...</lst>
<lst name="error">
<str name="msg">
org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.ParseException: Cannot parse

</str>
<int name="code">400</int>
</lst>
</response>

Subject: Unmatched quotes
Hi,
If I execute the following query, with unmatched quotes, I get an error from
Solr - as I haven't escaped the middle ".
But the error message appears to simply be "400 null". Is it possible to get
Solr to return a more informative error message?

Thanks,
Peter
