You could define your own query syntax (for example an empty string) for
a query matching all docs, examine the query string before passing it to
QueryParser, and instead create a MatchAllDocsQuery when a you have a match.

This is a 'feature-request' of our searchengine.
The user should have the possibilty to query for all(!) documents.
This would allow him to see all available document listet.
Is there a simple way to define a query that returns all documents of an
index?
Thanks lude

Why would you want to do this?
Use IndexReader methods to iterate all documents.
