This document describes Multi Tier Annotation Search (MTAS), a system built on Apache Solr that allows searching across text and multiple layers of linguistic annotations. MTAS extends Solr's indexing and querying capabilities to handle annotated text by using prefixes to distinguish annotation types, payloads to encode additional information, and forward indexes to retrieve related tokens. A FoLiA tokenizer maps the annotated text to MTAS' extended index structure, and queries can be written in Corpus Query Language (CQL) through specialized query handlers.
