Searching for date range or null/no field in Solr [duplicate]

Answer 1

I agree with Mauricio Scheffer solution.

If that can help, I transformed my initial query:

DocSource:"P" OR ( DocSource:"E" AND (MyDate:[NOW TO *] OR -MyDate:[* TO *] ) )

To

DocSource:"P" OR ( DocSource:"E" AND -( -MyDate:[* TO NOW] AND MyDate:[* TO *] ) )

The first query didn't run as expected in Solr 4.1.

Answer 2

The solution from Mauricio Scheffer worked for me until I've included it into full query. The query itself may contain up to three fields with ranges and somewhere in the middle Solr failed to process it. I have managed to solve it with next query:

(myfield:[start TO finish] OR (*:* NOT myfield:[* TO *]))

It woked even in my complex query, so maybe it will help someone else.
