Escaping Special Characters
Solr supports escaping special characters that are part of the query syntax. The current list special characters are
+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ “ ~ * ? : \ OR AND NOT
To escape these character use the
before the character. For example to search for (1+1):2 use the query:
\\(1\\+1\\)\\:2
Example to replace in PHP:
static function escapeSolrValue($string) {
$match = array('\\', '+', '-', '&', '|', '!', '(', ')', '{', '}', '[', ']', '^',
'~', '*', '?', ':', '"', ';', ' ', 'AND', 'OR', 'NOT');
$replace = array('\\\\', '\\+', '\\-', '\\&', '\\|', '\\!', '\\(', '\\)', '\\{', '\\}', '\\[', '\\]', '\\^',
'\\~', '\\*', '\\?', '\\:', '\\"', '\\;', '\\ ', '\\AND', '\\OR', '\\NOT');
$string = str_replace($match, $replace, $string);
return $string;
}
