Thanks for your suggestion Jack. In fact we're doing geographic search

Performing a sequence of queries can help too. For example, if users

Thanks to you all for those informed advices.
Thanks Trey for your very detailed point of view. This is now very clear to
me how a search on multiple fields can grow slower than a search on a

Our actual search model is problematic: we search on a catchall field, but

I think it may all depend on the nature of your application and how much
commonality there is between fields.
One interesting area is auto-suggest, where you can certainly suggest from

Hi,
Catch-all field: No need to worry about how to aggregate scores coming from
different fields.
But you cannot utilize different analysers for different fields.
Multiple-fields: You can play with edismax's parameters on-the-fly, without
having to re-index.

Hello,
We're using solr 4.10 and storing all data in a catchall field. It seems to
me that one good reason for using a catchall field is when using scoring
with idf (with idf, a word might not have same score in all fields). We got
rid of idf and are now considering using multiple fields. I rememb
