You could do a view like:
function(doc) {
var f;
for (f in doc) {
emit([f, doc[f]], null);
}
}
This would emit a key based on the name and value of every field in a
document. You might do well to optimize it by avoiding the fields that
start with "_" or other fields you don't care to index. You'll use a
lot of disc this way, but assuming you know at query time which field
you are interested in, it should be very fast to lookup keys and key
ranges within a given field.
