                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-80
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: search
            Reporter: Yonik Seeley


There is a need for negative filter queries to avoid long filter generation 
times and large caching requirements.

Currently, if someone wants to filter out a small number of documents, they 
must specify the complete set of documents to express those negative conditions 
against.  

q=foo&fq=id:[* TO *] -id:101

In this example, to filter out a single document, the complete set of documents 
(minus one) is generated, and a large bitset is cached.  You could also add the 
restriction to the main query, but that doesn't work with the dismax handler 
which doesn't have a facility for this.
