Hi,
I found the why it is returning irrelevant documents. I am encoding my query string with UTF-8 and appending to url as follows so it fails. This is the query string => art_id:queryText&start=0&rows=10&sort=score desc encoded url : http://localhost:8983/solr/TeamSite/select?q=art_id%3A183702815%26start%3D0% 26rows%3D10%26sort%3Dscore+desc If I access the URL directly without encoding and it is working fine. But this will not work through application. I need to encode the url otherwise it will throw Illegal URI exception. I tried ISO encode. but no luck. Anybody has any idea. How to resolve this issue. Any help will be appriciated. Thanks in advance. Thanks, Radha.C -----Original Message----- From: Radha C.

But when I execute this search , it returns more than 100 documents. the art_id field is String in schema.xml Can anyone tell me how it works. What is thw wrong in the above query. Thanks, Radha.C
