Problem parsing queries with forward slashes and multiple fields

I'm running into a problem with queries that contain forward slashes and more than one field.

For example, these queries work fine:
fieldName:/a
fieldName:/*

But if I have two fields with similar syntax in the same query, it fails.

For simplicity, I'm using the same field twice:

fieldName:/a fieldName:/a

results in: "no field name specified in query and no defaultSearchField defined in schema.xml"

Any ideas as to what may be wrong and how can I make these work?

I'm on a 4.0 snapshot from Nov 29, 2011.

Oh, so / is a special character now? I don't think it is mentioned as such on any of the wiki pages,
or in org.apache.solr.client.solrj.util.ClientUtils

Looks like regex matching happens across multiple fields though. Feels like a bug to me?

Regex queries were added that use forward slashes:

Looks like escaping forward slashes makes the query work, eg
  fieldName:\/a fieldName:\/a

This is a bit puzzling as the forward slash is not part of the query language, is it?

Data set does not matter. The query fails to parse, long before it gets to the data.

That's strange.

Could you provide a sample dataset?

I'd like to try it out.

Kind regards,

Yury,

are you sure your request has a proper url-encoding?

Kind regards,
