Hi, rows=N param just tells Solr how many top N results to return. Solr (and Lucene, really) still needs to find all documents that match the query and then score them (and optionally sort them). The more documents and matches you have, the more time the query will take.

Testing I did - 1 millions documents that have "feature1" all with the the same score - query time = 3 seconds to get first 10 hits 10 millions documents that have "feature1" all with the same score - query time = 30 seconds to get first 10 hits. Is there any optimization I can do so that query time for first 10 is constant regardless of result set size? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/solr-query-time-tp16678537p16678537.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
