bingo. even if a wildcard like syntax was allowed in the qf/pf of dismax since the same boost would be applied to each field the results would be roughly the same as if you used copyField -- and searching a single field will be faster then searching N other fields) (i say "roughly" the same because the tf/idf of the individual fields would be different then a single consolidated field, so there would be variations in the score ... but the basic results should be the same. if you really care about tuning the score, you'd wnat to assign seperate boosts per field name anyway, and then you're right back to not needing/wanting to use a glob syntax) -Hoss
