Did you try escaping the space with a backslash?

I think this should be made easier for future releases.
One way is something like
q=hey, no escaping required

Wildcard queries with spaces in them

[Matthew Runo]

Yes. I definitely cannot get this to work for terms that have spaces  
in them.

OK.

So a followup question..

?q=department_exact:Apparel%3EMen's% 
20Apparel*&fq=country_code:US&fq=brand_exact:adidas&fq=hibernated:true


returns 0 results. Note the %20 in there for the space character.

?q=department_exact:Apparel% 
3EMen's*&fq=country_code:US&fq=brand_exact:adidas&fq=hibernated:true
returns several, and the only change is that I've truncated "Men's  
Apparel*" to be "Men's*".


(example department_exacts from this result set below..)

Apparel>Men's Apparel>Sweatshirts>Hooded
Apparel>Men's Apparel>Shirts>Tank Top>Workout
Apparel>Men's Apparel>Sweatshirts
Apparel>Men's Apparel>Sweatshirts
Apparel>Men's Apparel>Jackets>Windbreaker



Any ideas why "Apparel>Men's*" would work, but "Apparel>Men's  
Apparel*" would not?

I've been using the standard query handler to do searches like

q=department_exact:"Foo>Bar>Baz>Qux"

Now, lets assume I have lots of records, with various department
trees...
1. Foo>Bar>Baz>Qux
2. Foo>Bar>Baz>Put
3. Foo>Bar>Something With Spaces>Elese
4. Foo>Totaly>Different>Tree

I'd like to get all the products at various levels, and all the
levels below.

I have a tokenzied department field, and a copyField  
department_exact.


I've been doing searches on the department_exact feild, thinking I
could do this..

q=department_exact:"Foo>Bar*"


A "*" inside quotes is literal.
Try
q=department_exact:Foo>Bar*
Or if ">" is a reserved character, escape it with "\"
q=department_exact:Foo\>Bar*

If "Bar" is unique (only under Foo), you could use a copyfield to  
copy
it to a regex tokenizer to split on ">" and then do a simple  
search on

"Bar"
