The Q operator and chaining querystring query

[Masud]

Hi all,

I am currently finding it difficult to perform an AND operation by chaining the query from the query string. E.g. if my query string has the values "coffee mba" without the quotes, I am not able to do anything more than:

query = request.GET['q']

query_operation = request.GET['query_operation']

if query_operation == 'and':

    query_terms = query.split()

    for term in query_terms:

        q = solr.Q("%s") % term            ### Not sure about this line, I can't even do q &= .. 

Can someone kindly help in how to concatenate this query?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Best wishes,

Masud

Found a solution so posting it here.

query = request.GET['q']

query_operation = request.GET['query_operation']

if query_operation == 'and':

    query_terms = query.split()

    q = solr.Q()

    for term in query_terms:

        query_args = {field: term}

        q = (solr.Q(**query_args)) & q
