Weird behaviors with not operators.
Hi all.
I'm crashing into a weird behavior with - operators.
If I execute the query
-text AND -text
I get all expected results (lot), but if I put some parenthesis like
-text AND (-text)
or
(-text) AND (-text)
then I get no results at all. I can't understand why.
Do you have an explanation for this behavior?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you a lot for your answers! They help me to understand better how query
parser works.

I mean it's a known bug.
Hostetter AND (-chris *:*)
Should do the trick.
Depending on your request.

Maybe this will answer your question
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FAQ
Why does 'foo AND -baz' match docs, but 'foo AND (-bar)' doesn't ?
Boolean queries must have at least one "positive" expression (ie; MUST or
SHOULD) in order to match. Solr tries to help with this, and if asked to
execute a BooleanQuery that does contains only negatived clauses _at the
topmost level_, it adds a match all docs query (ie: *:*)
If the top level BoolenQuery contains somewhere inside of it a nested
BooleanQuery which contains only negated clauses, that nested query will not
be modified, and it (by definition) an't match any documents -- if it is
required, that means the outer query will not match.
