ampersands in index or query
I have some data in solr
where the text string could potentially be
"Vic & Bobs greatest hits"
how can i ensure that when a user query is made
for "Vic and Bobs greatest hits" , a match is made?
this also needs to work the other way round.
i've not found any useful information about this scenario
Cheers

Another approach is to use the stopwords and an appropriate
analyzer chain. Then both the & and "and" would be removed
from the indexing stream and the query process and it would
"just work"..

Haven't tried this particular case, and it is possible that
there might be a need to escape & as & but in
general, Solr synonyms should address this kind of a
need. Please see:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.SynonymFilterFactory
and the setup in the default schema.xml.
