No, because normal queries work off of the inverted index (term->docids_that_match), and there won't be any values indexed for that document. Sorting and function queries work off of a non-inverted index (docid->value), that depending on the representation can't tell non-matching from default value. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
