I don't know of a way to accomplish that. But maybe it's not as I think and Dave has implemented such a feature and in reality it's a bug that it doesn't return results the second time. Maybe optimizing the index before searching another time helps ? > PS: Sorry Jens, I have not correctly understood the previous mail. I > thought it was only for the * alone (without a field). nothing to be sorry about ;-) in fact, the query parser will by default parse the query '*' to 'id:* OR content:*' (if your index has the fields id and content), so there's no difference.
