Hi,
Further search on net got me answer The query to be a_id:20 OR (*:* NOT a_id:*) I don't understand this syntax I am bit raw at solr query formations :) Regards, Prasanna. From: Prasanna S. Dhakephalkar [mailto:prasann...@merajob.in] Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2016 8:24 AM To: 'solr-user@lucene.apache.org' Subject: query formulation Greetings Group, I am attempting to formulate a query that gives me all the records such that 1. The record does not have field a_id 2. If a_id field exists then it should have a value 20 So, for 1. I used -a_id:* (got 25 results) For 2. I used a_id:20 (got 3 results) For combination I used -a_id:* OR a_id:20 (was expecting 28 results) Got nothing. What Am I missing ? Regards, Prasanna.
