Let's say my index has two fields (Type and Description). Type is either 0 or
1 and Description is a string (up to 250 characters). I'd like to execute the
following search:
+Description:Honda* +Type:0
Would the query run faster if I specify the Type first:
+Type:0 +Description:Honda*
I imagine it's much faster for Lucene to evaluate the Type clause than the
Description clause. Is Lucene smart enough to filter out the Type 1 documents
first before evaluating the more expensive wildcard clause? I'd like to
understand (at a high level) how Lucene would process the query above. Thank
you.
