Search keywords including a forward slash throws a solr error

Hi,

I haven't experienced this before but may have not done this search before.

When searching in Tridion Docs with a search string that includes a forward slash I am getting an error that says

Invalid SELECT request. Bad Request [statuscode:BadRequest] [http://...../solr/LatestVersion/select]

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Any advice appreciated,

Regards,

Ann

  • Hi Ann - 

    The first thing that came to mind is what do you expect to find. A slash character is a somewhat reserved character for Solr, similar to plus and minus character. So my first suggestion is to try double quoting your search term: "/test"

    But even then special characters are often filtered out of by analyzers/indexers and in turn query engines.
