I was doing the q=state[* TO *] for a short time, and found it very slow. I switched to doing a query on a single field that covered the part of the index I was interested in, for example: inStock:true And got much faster performance. I was getting execution times in seconds (for example, I just manually did this and got. 2.2 seconds for the [* TO *], and 50 milliseconds for the latter (inStock:true), uncached) In my case the filter query hits about 80% of the docs, so it's doing a similar amount of work. I don't know how well *:* performs, but if it is similar to state:[* TO *], I would benchmark it before using. For us, facet queries are a high percentage, so the time was critical. It might even be worth adding a field, if you don't already have an appropriate one. Tom
