Complex queries with Solr 4

I would like to fire complex queries in Solr 4. If I am using Lucene, I can search using XML Query parser and get the results I need. However, I am not able to see how to use the XML Query Parser in Solr.

I need to be able to execute queries with proximity searches, booleans, wildcards, span or, phrases (although these can be handled by proximity searches).

Guidance on material on how to proceed also welcome.

Regards Puneet

you can use the query url as http://xx.xxx.xx.xx:8983/solr/collectionname/select?indent=on&q= {!complexphrase%20inOrder=true}"good*"&wt=json&fl=Category,keywords,ImageID

Solr 4.8 now has the "complexphrase" query parser built in that can construct all sorts of complex proximity queries (i.e. phrase queries with embedded boolean logic and wildcards).

As far as I know it's still a work in progress. More info can be found at their Jira. You can of course use the normal query language, it's also capable of doing pretty complex things, for example:

"a proximity search"~2 AND *wildcards* OR "a phrase"

As you can see you can search for phrases, boolean operators (AND, OR, ...), span, proximity and wildcards. For more information about the query syntax look at the Lucene documentation. Solr also added some extra features on top of the Lucene query parser and more information about that can be found at the Solr wiki.
