How do I enable a "Bicycle AND Boy" search in Solr?

Question

I have solr up and running but I cannot get the results when I search "Bicycle AND Boy", works fine for "Bicycle Boy". What are the steps to enable such searches?

Answer 1

Can you try searching Bicycle AND Boy without quotations?

Answer 2

By default the configuration for Solr is set to use OR as the default query operator. Look for this line in the schema.xml file:

<solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/>

You can also reference the Solr Tutorial for more details on querying... http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html#Querying+Data
