Please don't send messages like this. This is a volunteer community -- no one (that I know of) is paid to read/reply to questions on the solr-user list. Many of us do our best to make sure that all user questions get addressed, but this is a fairly high volume list, and sometimes other things in life (work, health, relationships, family, etc...) make that take a little longer then we would like -- sometimes questions don't get answered for a few days, it's just the way it is, please be patient. Sending multiple "please help, still no reply" type messages just adds noise to the list, and give people who *do* want to help more to read which means it takes that much longer to actually reply. If you need an answer to a question in a hurry: read the archives and the docs, experiment, read the code (if you know java), or hire a consultant to help you figure it out. In this specific case, debugQuery=true would have quickly shown you that your qs=5 value wasn't making it's way into the "parsedquery" at all, which might have helped you understand what was happening. -Hoss
