Workaround
==========

Define a field <field name="match_all">abcd</field> with constant value
'abcd' for all documents (choose value not listed in any 'stop-word' etc.).
Lucene query 'scan_all:abcd' will retrieve 'all' documents.
Enjoy!

Subject: MatchAllDocsQuery in solr?


Is there a way to do a match all docs query in solr?

I mean is there something I can put in a solr URL that will get 
recognized by the SolrQueryParser as meaning a "match all"?

Why? Because I'm porting unit tests from our internal Lucene 
container to Solr, and the tests usually run such a query,  upon 
completion, to make sure the index is in the expected state (nothing 
missing, nothing extra).

Yes, I can create a query that will match all my docs, there are a 
few fields that have a relatively small range of values. I was just 
looking for a standard way to do it first.

Thanks,

Tom
