    Solr Query Language Cheat Sheet

    This cheat sheet is a quick reference to the Solr query language. Use this syntax when querying Fusion via the Query API

    There are two ways to query a Fusion collection using the parameters below:

    Wildcards and regular expressions are supported.

    Wildcards

    Wildcards and regular expressions are supported.

    • ?

      Single-character wildcard

    • *

    Escape characters

    Some characters in query fields must be escaped using a backslash \. Adding \ before the following includes them in the query as literal values:

    • ?

    Queries against facets are case sensitive.

    fq

    Query examples

    1. Search only the title field in the "docs" collection for the term "solr", and format the results as JSON:

    http://localhost:{api-port}/api/query-pipelines/default/collections/docs/select?q=solr&fl=title&wt=json

    1. Use the following query with wildcards and character escaping in the Query Workbench to search for both BLU RAY MOVIES and CAMERA classes in the VIDEO/CD and PHOTO/CAMERA departments:
