Search Tips

Solr Syntax

 

If you are familiar with lucene query syntax, solr is basically the same with the following exceptions:

  • Pure negative queries (all clauses prohibited) are allowed.
  • A * may be used for either or both endpoints to specify an open-ended range query.

Queries are always performed in a a field. if you don't specify a field explicitly the default field is used.

Goal syntax examples  
Search Term any string leonard, leonard cohen  
Search Phrase "any string " "leonard cohen"  
Proximity Search "any string "~range "leonard cohen"~10 searches leonard and cohen within 10 words of each other
Search in Specific field fieldname:querystring artist:"leonard cohen", artist:leonard, artist:(leonard cohen)

Range Search [start TO end] year:[2001 TO 2009]
