When I do a search on my Solr site, the "Filter by Content Type" has the following option listed as the first content type: [* TO *]. The URL it links to is the following: /search/apachesolr_search/party?filters=-type%3A%5B%2A%20TO%20%2A%5D. The rest of the filters are the usual Content Type name and the URL has http://staging.intellectualtakeout.org/search/apachesolr_search/party?filters=type%3Apage. Anyone seen this before? Is there something I'm doing wrong to get that filter there? Thanks in advance for all help in figuring what is going on.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly? Would you be able to post a tutorial how we can replicate this behavior?

Well, I'll try to see if I can set up an Apache Solr on my local machine, but here's an example on the live site:

http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/search/apachesolr_search/national%20debt

If you go to that URL, you can see the first filter option under "Filter By Type" is "[* TO *]". We definitely do not have a content type named that. It doesn't always seem to show that option, depending on the word.

The Apache Solr install is a standard install and it seemed to have gone perfectly besides this issue. The website is currently a Pressflow site running on Nginx and Varnish, which we have had some other issues with.

Actually, I believe I may have found the problem. I just looked at my database and it does seem there are a number of nodes in our large database that have a node type that is blank. That's probably what they are.
