Guilherme,
The answer is likely to be dependent on the query parser, query parser
configuration, and analysis chains. If you post those it could aid in
helping troubleshoot. One thing that jumps to mind is the asterisks
("*") -- if they're interpreted as wildcards, that could be
problematic? More generally, it's of course true that Solr won't parse
this input as SQL, but as Isabelle pointed out, there are still
potentially lots of meta-characters (in addition to quite a few short,
common terms).
