I don't see anything related to searching using non-indexed fields.
Could
you maybe point me at the class(es) that implement this functionality?
Sorry, I missed the "non" part of "non-indexed fields". I don't
quite understand why you wouldn't just index every field if you
needed that capability though.

It seems that maybe a query could be separated into Filter and

were based
on non-indexed fields would be converted to a Filter.
The problem is if you have some thing like
(indexed:somevalue OR nonindexed:somevalue)
would require a complete visit to every document.
Not necessarily. A query optimizer could could extract these term
query clauses, look up cached doc sets (bit sets) and union them.
Scoring is the trickier part - I'm now curious to dig into Solr and
see how it handles this.
I understand that this is moving Lucene closer to a database, but
it is just
very difficult to perform some complex queries efficiently without
it.
Check out Solr - I think you'll find it fits this niche nicely.
*** As an aside, I still don't understand why Filter is not an
interface
I saw that Paul Elschot has just done some refactoring work attached
to a JIRA issue on this very topic.
