Could you show us where there is a problem? I was getting a QuerParser exception when even I had a spacial char in the search phrase which led me to believe that that it was an escaping issuse. Unfornunately i don't the have the exception stack; wont have access to it till Tuesday morning, i'll send the stack then. Maybe its not even an escaping isssue!Thank you for your reply. -- [as] > > Erik > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
