As a work-around that'd work. It means either changing the contents of the data sets or changing the schema and how data are fed to SOLR/Lucene.
I'm hoping to be able to put an expression in the fq param instead, if that's supported. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Papasian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 7:56 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: expression in an fq parameter fails Ezra Epstein wrote: > <str name="fq">storeAvailableDate:[* TO NOW]</str> > <str name="fq">storeExpirationDate:[NOW TO *]</str> ... > > This works perfectly.

I think the easiest thing to do would be either use a zero-date for storeAvailableDate and an infinity-date for storeExpirationDate instead of having them be empty for things you want to be always available or always expired (if I've understood your problem) or, add another field alwaysAvailable or neverExpiring, and then do an OR off of that. Maybe that's cheating? HTH, Daniel
