OR filtering...

Hi,
  I have a question about the syntax for doing an OR filter in my URL. How
do I specify
where ((fq=colA[10 TO 20]) AND (fq=state:USA OR fq=country:USA) ? Basically,
I am
doing a search for a keyword across certain fields and I want to filter the
result set. 
The user can input city/state/country in a text field on the UI - hence the
OR.

Thank you.

Note that this should be fq=colA:[10 TO 20], etc. (note the colon  
after  "colA").

(or is another of those "get with it Erik, QueryParser handles this  
already" sorta things? ;)

A single fq with the OR clauses in lucene query parser syntax should work.

&fq=colA[10 TO 20]&fq=state:USA OR country:USA

Multiple fq's are AND'd together, but a single fq can contain
arbitrary lucene query syntax.

So
fq=colA[10 TO 20] AND (state:USA OR country:USA)
or
fq=colA[10 TO 20])&fq=state:USA OR country:USA

The different lies in the caching behaviour.
