Hi all,
We are indexing different types of documents, some with certain fields set and some without, some fields sometimes in both. If a particular field is missing in a newly added record, I would have expected the query: field_name:(-null) not to return this particular record in the response, ie, I'm assuming the field is set to null. But the response we see includes empty docs: ...... .... .. <doc> </doc> <doc> </doc> <doc> </doc> etc, etc.... .. .... Can someone explain why field_name:(-null) returns the records where field_name is missing ? We note that if we do the range operation we can get a response without the records with no field_name: field_name:[* TO *] Many thanks Karen
