I was doing something wrong. Bisecting the result set does not work. Using a much larger boost and ORing with the entire index does work. Thanks.
*:* OR duration:3^20.0 works -duration:3 OR duration:3^20 gives empty result set Now we come to another question: why doesn't "X OR -X" select the entire index?

Perhaps a bigger boost would help? -Yonik
