Hi Jonathan, Thank you for your reply. Your point about my example is a good one. So let me try to restate using your example. Suppose I want to apply AND to any search terms within field1.
Then field1:foo field2:bar field1:baz field2:bom would by written as http://localhost:8983/solr/?q=field1:foo OR field2:bar OR field1:baz OR field2:bom But if they were written together like: http://localhost:8983/solr/?q=field1:(foo baz) field2:(bar bom) I would want it to be http://localhost:8983/solr/?q=field1:(foo AND baz) OR field2:(bar OR bom) But it sounds like you are saying that would not be possible.
