It's not actually a bug. It's an inherent truth -- you can't subtract from nothing. You must tell Lucene what to start with before you can subtract the 123456789 value. The fact that a bare query of -field:value works with Solr is because Solr contains code that recognizes the purely negative query and fills in an implicit *:* value first. In cases like this where a purely negative query is just one clause and not the WHOLE query, Solr is not able to recognize the situation and fix it. An enhancement request would be appropriate here, not a bug report. I do not know if such an enhancement request is already in Jira. Thanks, Shawn
