Re: Searching for string having apostrophe
Hi, Apostrophes are not part of the special query parser characters. You don't need to escape it. Can you give some examples ?

I would bet that you have a proxy or a load balancer in front of Solr that is treating your input as a possible attack and denying it. You would need to look into the configuration of the proxy or load balancer to fix this. It is entirely possible that you have a proxy on your network that you are not aware of. Sometimes large companies will send *all* user-generated network traffic through a proxy to check for viruses, trojans, and illegal/objectionable network usage. Thanks, Shawn
Re: Searching for string having apostrophe
I really have to ask why you want to search for apostrophes. Usually these are considered junk characters and are best ignored.
