Hi Simon, If you want to be able to run a "give me all documents that have an empty field F", then you'll actually have to stuff a "dummy" value when no real value for field F is present. If you have an index schema, perhaps that's a good place to add a 'defaultValue'-type attribute with that dummy value. Perhaps Solr already has something like this, I'm not sure.

I do have a index schema, which defines all field a document can have. if one of the real documents has no content for a certain field. should that field be added to the index or not. Would it make any difference at all? regards Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
