I'm using solr-8.3.1 on a solrcloud set up with 2 solr nodes and 2 ZK nodes. I was experiencing very slow search-with-highlighting on a index that had 'omitNorms="true"' on all fields. At the suggestion of a stackoverflow post, I changed all fields to be 'omitNorms="false"' and the search-with-highlight time came down to about 1/10th of what it was!!!
This was a relatively small index and I had no issues with memory increase. Now my question is whether I should expect the same speed up on regular search calls, or search with only filters (no query)? This would be on a different, much larger index - and I do want to incur the memory increase unless the search is significantly faster. Does anyone have any experience in comparing search speed using "omitNorms" true or false in regular search (non-highlight)? Thanks! Reinaldo
