FilterQuery and Ors

[Jamie Johnson <je...@gmail.com>]

I'm looking for a way to do a filter query and Ors.  I've done a bit of
googling and found an open jira but nothing indicating this is possible.
I'm looking to do something like the search at
http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/?q=test
where you can do multi selects for the facets.  I've read about it at
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#Multi-Select_Faceting_and_LocalParamsso
I have the tag/exclusion working but if I select two items from a
facet
group (say age from 1 to 10 and age from 10 to 20) I get nothing because
nothing meets both of those criteria.  I can obviously write something
custom to build an OR out of this but that seems less elegant.  Any guidance
would be appreciated

try fq=age:[1 TO 10] OR age:[10 TO 20]

I'm pretty sure

fq=age:([1 TO 10] OR [10 TO 20])

will work too.

But you're right, multiple fq clauses are intersections, so specifying more
than one fq clause on the SAME field results in what you're seeing.
