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

No, that doesn't work either - it works for the lucene query parser, but
not for the *surround* query parser, which I'm using because it has a
syntax for span queries.

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 ...
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
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
