My fault for putting in the quotes in the email, I actually don't have tests in my quotes, just tried again to make sure.

And I always get 0 results on a pure negative Solr 1.4.1 dismax query. I think it does not actually work?

Hi,

It works just as expected, but not in a phrase query. Get rid of your quotes
and you'll be fine.

Cheers,

Should 1.4.1 dismax query parser be able to handle pure negative queries
like:

&q="-foo"
&q="-foo -bar"

It kind of seems to me trying it out that it can NOT.  Can anyone else
verify?  The documentation I can find doesn't say one way or another.
Which is odd because the documentation for straight solr-lucene query
parser athttp://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrQuerySyntax  suggests that
straight solr-lucene query parser_can_  handle pure negative.  That
seems odd that solr-lucene Q.P. can, but dismax can't? Maybe I'm
misinterpreting or misunderstanding my experimental results.
