boolean operators OR/NOT get highlighted by solr

[Tang, Rebecca]

Hi,

We have a SOLR query like this

q=ddmdate%3A2012-05-01T00%3A00%3A00Z+NOT+dddate%3A2010-06-11T00%3A00%3A00Z&wt=json&indent=true&hl=true&hl.simple.pre=%3Ch1%3E&hl.simple.post=%3C%2Fh1%3E&hl.requireFieldMatch=true&hl.preserveMulti=true&hl.fl=ot&f.ot.hl.fragsize=300&f.ot.hl.alternateField=ot&f.ot.hl.maxAlternateFieldLength=300&fl=id

And the response looks like this and notice the work not is highlighted by solr:

{
  "responseHeader":{
    "status":0,
    "QTime":5,
    "params":{
      "f.ot.hl.maxAlternateFieldLength":"300",
      "hl.requireFieldMatch":"true",
      "fl":"id",
      "f.ot.hl.alternateField":"ot",
      "indent":"true",
      "q":"ddmdate:2012-05-01T00:00:00Z NOT dddate:2010-06-11T00:00:00Z",
      "f.ot.hl.fragsize":"300",
      "hl.preserveMulti":"true",
      "hl.simple.pre":"<h1>",
      "hl.simple.post":"</h1>",
      "hl.fl":"ot",
      "wt":"json",
      "hl":"true"}},
  "response":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"docs":[
      {
        "id":"xrbw0180"}]
  },
  "highlighting":{
    "xrbw0180":{
      "ot":[" of this info getting out to consumers and others, therefore, 
please do <h1>not</h1> forward or provide copies to others. Hope this 
helps...\n\nKevin\n\nl\n\n5027717374#12;pgNbr=1\n"]}}}

This happens with OR as well:
q=ddmdate%3A2012-05-01T00%3A00%3A00Z+OR+dddate%3A2010-06-11T00%3A00%3A00Z&wt=json&indent=true&hl=true&hl.simple.pre=%3Ch1%3E&hl.simple.post=%3C%2Fh1%3E&hl.requireFieldMatch=true&hl.preserveMulti=true&hl.fl=ot&f.ot.hl.fragsize=300&f.ot.hl.alternateField=ot&f.ot.hl.maxAlternateFieldLength=300&fl=id


{
  "responseHeader":{
    "status":0,
    "QTime":4,
    "params":{
      "f.ot.hl.maxAlternateFieldLength":"300",
      "hl.requireFieldMatch":"true",
      "fl":"id",
      "f.ot.hl.alternateField":"ot",
      "indent":"true",
      "q":"ddmdate:2012-05-01T00:00:00Z OR dddate:2010-06-11T00:00:00Z",
      "f.ot.hl.fragsize":"300",
      "hl.preserveMulti":"true",
      "hl.simple.pre":"<h1>",
      "hl.simple.post":"</h1>",
      "hl.fl":"ot",
      "wt":"json",
      "hl":"true"}},
  "response":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"docs":[
      {
        "id":"xrbw0180"}]
  },
  "highlighting":{
    "xrbw0180":{
      "ot":[" of this info getting out to consumers and others, therefore, 
please do not forward <h1>or</h1> provide copies to others. Hope this 
helps...\n\nKevin\n\nl\n\n5027717374#12;pgNbr=1\n"]}}}

This does not happen with the AND operator.

Is this a bug in solr?  Or is it a feature that I can turn off?
