Lucene needs a positive component in boolean queries to match anything (Solr only lifts this restriction for the top level queries). So try +message:test -thread_id:123 OR -thread_id:456 OR -thread_id:789 OR +message:test AND (*:* -thread_id:123 OR -thread_id:456 OR -thread_id:789) -Yonik > So basically I just want anything back that has the word "test" > anywhere in the message text field and does not contain the thread id > 123, 456, or 789. > > When I execute that query I get no results back.
