I am using Solrnet in my Sitefinity CMS, I am also using it for filtering purposes, for example in my list View of my Events. In my Events, I have a custom field of Choices type and in my Solr Search Results view, I would like to exclude those events that are a selected as "Interest Group". I thought using the fq parameter like this would do the trick, by the way, EventType is the name of my custom field in Sitefinity:
fq=-b_cms_EventType:("Interest Group")
But this doesn't work for me. Interest Group the type of event I would like excluded. I used a similar kind of filter in another View to only display my Interest Group events and this worked for me:
fq=sm_cms_EventType:("Interest Group")
But why the same concept isn't working for excluding with fq=-b_?
If it helps, the debug log in the page that is only displaying my Interest Group events is this:
