Hmm - I looked at Spans more carefully, and it appears as if your idea
about a "fake" Query (some kind of SpanAllQuery would be called for)
would work well, and would probably be much simpler to implement. It
wouldn't preclude the kind of optimization I was talking about either,
but I don't know if it would be worth the trouble.
It turns out in my very specific case I have a term that appears in
every document in a particular field, so I am just using a search for
that at the moment.

I think what I have in mind would be purely an artifact of the parser;
a term that would always be optimized away, either vanishing or
gobbling up the whole query. So if you had n(A,*), you would just
get "A". If you had and(A, not(*)) (is that the surround syntax for
not?) you would get nothing, if you had * you would get all the
documents. Maybe this could be done without having to actually
generate a query internally, but could happen during parsing. It's
kind of a weird case, but I am trying to translate from one query
language to another, and it would be convenient to have this as an
option.

Hi Mike: wheres for the normal queryparser this Query doesn't consult
the positions file and is trivial, how would such a query be
implemented for the surround parser? As a single span that matches all
positions for the whole document? Maybe it could be a "fake span" for
each document of 0 ... Integer.MAX_VALUE?
I think it would be nice to have as long as its not going to be too
inefficient...

does anybody know how to express a MatchAllDocsQuery in surround query
parser language? I've tried
*
and()
but those don't parse. I looked at the grammar and I don't think
there is a
way. Please let us all know if you know otherwise!
Thanks
