Query excluding empty values and some criteria

[marotosg <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi.

I am trying to do query where I need to include empty values and exclude
some specific data.
For instance my field name is "Industry" and my query looks like
(-Industry:"Agriculture") OR (-Industry:[* TO *])

I want to get all empty values OR industries which are not Agriculture. This
query does not work for me.
I tried it to split in two and it works. 
First query --> (-Industry:"Agriculture") 
Second Query --> (-Industry:[* TO *])

Any idea?

Thanks
Sergio

A parenthesized pure negative query needs a "*:*" to apply the negative 
query against:

(*:* -Industry:"Agriculture") OR (*:* -Industry:[* TO *])

or,

(some terms -Industry:"Agriculture") OR (*:* -Industry:[* TO *]))
