Shawn Heisey created SOLR-4493:
----------------------------------
Summary: Search all fields (possibly with *:searchtext syntax)
Key: SOLR-4493
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4493
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Wish
Components: search
Reporter: Shawn Heisey
Someone came into the #solr IRC channel wanting some help with duplicating
their Lucene work in Solr. One of the things they are doing in Lucene is
finding all searchable fields and constructing a boolean query against all of
those fields for their search text. They said that they had asked in
#elasticsearch about this and gotten an affirmative answer as to whether they
could use *:searchtext to search all fields in that program.
I have seen this exact question come up a few times in IRC and the mailing
list. I know that if this feature is implemented, it will likely be a
performance killer, and thus it's not really a good idea to actually use in
production, but we have a couple of reasons for doing it: 1) The competition
does it. 2) Users keep asking how to do it.
