Thanks for a quick response Jack. Trying to escape it with a backslash, we also need to escape the whitespace. Is that a default behavior while escaping special characters?
eg: Search query: pcta \- all No results returned <str name="parsedquery_toString">+(((name_starts_with:pcta^9.0 | name_parts_starts_with:pcta^6.0 | s_detail:pcta | name:pcta^12.0 | s_detail_starts_with:pcta^3.0 | s_detail_parts_starts_with:pcta^2.0) (name_starts_with:-^9.0 | s_detail_starts_with:-^3.0) (name_starts_with:all^9.0 | name_parts_starts_with:all^6.0 | s_detail:all | name:all^12.0 | s_detail_starts_with:all^3.0 | s_detail_parts_starts_with:all^2.0))~3)</str> Search query: pcta\ \- all Results returned <str name="parsedquery_toString">+(((((name_starts_with:pcta name_starts_with:-)~2^9.0) | name_parts_starts_with:pcta^6.0 | s_detail:pcta | name:pcta^12.0 | ((s_detail_starts_with:pcta s_detail_starts_with:-)~2^3.0) | s_detail_parts_starts_with:pcta^2.0) (name_starts_with:all^9.0 | name_parts_starts_with:all^6.0 | s_detail:all | name:all^12.0 | s_detail_starts_with:all^3.0 | s_detail_parts_starts_with:all^2.0))~2)</str> Search query: pcta \-\ all Results returned <str name="parsedquery_toString">+(((name_starts_with:pcta^9.0 | name_parts_starts_with:pcta^6.0 | s_detail:pcta | name:pcta^12.0 | s_detail_starts_with:pcta^3.0 | s_detail_parts_starts_with:pcta^2.0) (((name_starts_with:- name_starts_with:all)~2^9.0) | name_parts_starts_with:all^6.0 | s_detail:all | name:all^12.0 | ((s_detail_starts_with:- s_detail_starts_with:all)~2^3.0) | s_detail_parts_starts_with:all^2.0))~2)</str> On Oct 13, 2014, at 10:08 AM, Jack Krupansky <j...@basetechnology.com<mailto:j...@basetechnology.com>> wrote: Simply escape it with a backslash or enclose the term in quotes. Sure, it would be nice to be able to configure various operators to be disabled, but that's not fesible with query parser designed around static grammars and infleexible tools such as JFlex. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Lanke,Aniruddha Sent: Monday, October 13, 2014 11:03 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org<mailto:solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Subject: Re: eDisMax parser and special characters Can the default behavior of "-" as a pre-fix operator be changed so it can be searched as a string?

So, your query has a syntax error. The two query parsers differ in how they handle various errors. In the case of edismax, it quotes operators and then tries again, so the hyphen gets quoted, and then analyzed to nothing for text fields but is still a string for string fields. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Lanke,Aniruddha Sent: Wednesday, October 8, 2014 4:38 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org<mailto:solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Subject: Re: eDisMax parser and special characters Sorry for a delayed reply here is more information - Schema that we are using - http://pastebin.com/WQAJCCph Request Handler in config - http://pastebin.com/Y0kP40WF Some analysis - Search term: red - Parser eDismax No results show up <str name="parsedquery">(+((DisjunctionMaxQuery((name_starts_with:red^9.0 | name_parts_starts_with:red^6.0 | s_detail:red | name:red^12.0 | s_detail_starts_with:red^3.0 | s_detail_parts_starts_with:red^2.0)) DisjunctionMaxQuery((name_starts_with:-^9.0 | s_detail_starts_with:-^3.0)))~2))/no_coord</str> Search term: red - Parser dismax Results are returned <str name="parsedquery">(+DisjunctionMaxQuery((name_starts_with:red^9.0 | name_parts_starts_with:red^6.0 | s_detail:red | name:red^12.0 | s_detail_starts_with:red^3.0 | s_detail_parts_starts_with:red^2.0)) ())/no_coord</str> Why do we see the variation in the results between dismax and eDismax?
