solr : search query with spaces between words

Question

I have have a latin plant name like Chamaecyparis obtusa So the result should be all plantnames that starts with Chamaecyparis obtusa

I want to get results like

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Confucious'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Contorta'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Coralliformis'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Crippsii'

The problem is the space between the words Chamaecyparis and obtusa For that reson it will not work

I tried it with * and ? but there must be a simple way to do this

Answer 1

Couple things worth trying from here: solr query with white space

• remove all white space: Chamaecyparisobtusa
• use quotes: "Chamaecyparis obtusa"
• use parenthesis: (Chamaecyparis obtusa)
