solr query with white space

Question

108
&l         


        

Answer 1

This doesn't answer this question directly but it may help with this problem:

Remove the spaces before posting to Solr.

For fields used for faceting rather than searching, it is not important to store the value with spaces. The value is simply a treated as key. Store the field itemtype like so:"supplychainintermediaries", "monitorauditorfirm", etc.

When you display the facet values to the user, simply use a dictionary which maps key values to display values. Like so:

"supplychainintermediaries" --> "Supply Chain Intermediaries" "monitorauditorfirm" --> "Monitor/Auditor Firm"
