Hi Erick, Reth,
The 'a\ b*' as well as the q.op=AND approach worked (successfully) only for
StrField for me.
Any attempt at creating a 'a\ b*' for a TextField does not match any documents.
The parsedQuery in debug mode does show 'field:a b*'. I am sure there are
documents that should match.
Another (maybe unrelated) observation is if I have 'field:a\ b', then the
parsedQuery is field:a field:b. Which does not match as expected (matches
individually).
Can you please provide an example that I can use in Solr Query dashboard? That
will be helpful.
I have also seen that wildcard queries work irrespective of field type i.e.
StrField as well as TextField. That makes sense because with a
WhitespaceTokenizer only creates word boundaries when we do not use a
EdgeNGramFilter. If I am not wrong, that is. SRK

You can escape the space with a backslash as 'a\ b*'
