Not sure what your use case actually is, but it sounds like you may be unclear how Lucene works.
Each query clause you have will produce an iterator that walks over the documents that match that clause. All the documents from the entire, root query get scored. The scoring evaluation per document is also related to the form of your query expression hierarchy. So, MatchAllDocsQuery is exactly what you want if you want a document iterator that includes all documents in the index. You can change how this is scored by extending MatchAllDocsQuery and writing a custom scorer.

I'm using the following code because I want to see the entire collection in my query results: //adding wildcards-term to see all results rest = new TermQuery(new Term("*","*")); booleanQuery.add(rest, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD); But it doesn't work, I only see the relevant docs and not all the other ones. How can I get all documents ordered by relevance instead ? ps. MatchAllDocsQuery is not a solution because I need to specify my own custom query. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
