I'd like to know if there's a way to query for not having a field set.
Something like saying I want all the docs that have field A empty.
Is that possible?
Sure is
-field:[* TO *]
that'll match all documents that do NOT have
And, a negative query does not work, so if this is the only clause, you have
to say:
*:* AND -field[* TO *]
Where *:* is a special code for all documents.
It's like learning a language: there is the normal grammar, there are the
unusual cases, and then there are the bizarre slang expressions.
