Alan Woodward commented on SOLR-2996:
-------------------------------------
I did say untested :-) It needs a semicolon:
{code}
+ <STAR> {q=handleBareTokenQuery("*", "*", fuzzySlop, prefix, true, fuzzy,
regexp);}
{code}
> make "q=*" not suck in the lucene and edismax parsers

> Key: SOLR-2996
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2996
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: query parsers
> Reporter: Hoss Man
>
> More then a few users have gotten burned by thinking that "{{\*}}" is the
> appropriate syntax for "match all docs" when what it really does (unless i'm
> mistaken) is create a prefix query on the default search field using a blank
> string as the prefix.
> since it seems very unlikely that anyone has a genuine usecase for making a
> prefix query with a blank prefix, we should change the default behavior of
> the LuceneQParser and EDismaxQParsers (and any other Qparsers that respect
> {{\*:\*}} if i'm forgetting them) to treat this situation the same as
> {{\*:\*}}. we can offer a (local)param to force the old behavior if someone
> really wants it.
