This is caused when the SOLR query string has more than 10,000 query string parameters. SOLR cannot handle that and fails with an internal server error. To resolve this issue , please follow the below steps -

1. In the administrative console click 
Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Web Container settings > Web Container 

2. Under Additional Properties select Custom Properties. And add a new 

Property name: com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.maxParamPerRequest 

Value : some number 

The default value for this is 10000. You can set it a different number or you can set this property to -1 if you do not want to limit the number of parameters that can be included in a request
