The SolrQuerySyntax Wiki page refers to DateMathParser for examples. When I tried "-1DAY", I got:
org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse
'last_modified:-DAY':
Encountered " "-" "- "" at line 1, column 14.
Was expecting one of: "(" ... "*" ... <QUOTED> ... <TERM> ...
<PREFIXTERM> ... <WILDTERM> ... "[" ... "{" ... <NUMBER> ...
Are they not supported as a short-cut for "NOW-1DAY"? I'm using Solr 1.4.
