[SOLVED] I want to run a query in solr having the special character & and %

I want to run a query in solr having the special character & and %

I am having trouble running a query using Pysolr when & and % appear in the query. The rest of the special characters can be handled using a '\' but '&' and '%' are a different case. the following query sends an error, but when & and % are removed it works fine. Can someone help?

Solution

You can encode your query parameter while passing to solr.

Please find below example.
