what is the sequence of execution of solr query , is it right to left?

[Alok Bhandari <al...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

if I search solr with the criteria A AND B OR C , then what is the order of
execution of boolean operators?

I guess it is 

1)Get result of B OR C 
2) Get Result of A AND (result of step 1) 

Is it correct?. I am using solr 3.6.

This question can't be answered correctly as asked. The query parser does not
implement boolean logic directly, so any answer is pretty much wrong. Here's
an excellent writeup of what the query parser actually does:

As pointed out in the blog if you were going to try to get
boolean-like behavior,
you must be careful to parenthesize properly....
