Re: trivia question: why q=*:* doesn't return same result as q.alt=*:*

Chris / Hoss Thanks for the detailed explanation. Erick Erickson's explanation made sense to me but it didn't explain the part why the fields are different for 'hello' vs '*:*' . I had never paid much attention the parser part of query handling and so far focused only on the field definitions. I

Re: trivia question: why q=*:* doesn't return same result as q.alt=*:*

I think what Erick meant to say ;) was defType=dismax does NOT do anything special with *:* other than treat it as plain text and does dismaxy things with it. That’s exactly why there is q.alt for the dismax parser - so you can have your dismax and still match all docs by not having a

Re: trivia question: why q=*:* doesn't return same result as q.alt=*:*

As Chris explained, this is special: q=*:* in terms of scoring or anything of the like. It's just match-all-docs It makes no sense to distribute *:* among "pf" fields. The whole point of pf is to influence scoring by providing a mechanism for boosting when words in some field(s) appear together

Re: trivia question: why q=*:* doesn't return same result as q.alt=*:*

Thanks everyone, that was a very informative thread. One more curiosity: why are different set of fields being used based on the query string:- http://localhost:8983/solr/filesearch/select?fq=id:1193; q=*:*=true - parsedquery: "+DisjunctionMaxQuery((user_email:*:* | user_name:*:* |

Re: trivia question: why q=*:* doesn't return same result as q.alt=*:*

: Yes, i am using dismax. But dismax allows *:* for q.alt ,which also seems : like inconsistency. dismax is a *parser* that affects how a single query string is parsed. when you use defType=dismax, that only changes how the "q" param is parsed -- not any other query string params, like "fq" or

Re: trivia question: why q=*:* doesn't return same result as q.alt=*:*

Hmm, seems odd. What happens when you attach =query? I'm curious how the parsed queries differ. On Jan 4, 2018 15:14, "Nawab Zada Asad Iqbal" wrote: > Hi, > > In my SearchHandler solrconfig, i have q.alt=*:* . This allows me to run > queries which only have `fq` filters and no

trivia question: why q=*:* doesn't return same result as q.alt=*:*

Hi, In my SearchHandler solrconfig, i have q.alt=*:* . This allows me to run queries which only have `fq` filters and no `q`. If I remove q.alt from the solrconfig and specify `q=*:*` in the query parameters, it does not give any results. I also tried `q=*` but of no avail. Is there some good
