FWIW: there has been a lot of dicsussion around how wildcards should work in various params that involve field names in the past: search the archives for "glob" or "globbing" and you'll find several. : That makes sense, since hl.fl probably can get away with calculating in the : writer, and not

That makes sense, since hl.fl probably can get away with calculating in the writer, and not as part of the core. However, I really need wildcard (or globbing) support for field lists as part of the common query parameter "fl". Again, if someone can just point me to where the Solr core is us

Thanks. If I knew where to begin to implement this, I would. It seems to me that the constraining of field lists must occur at the very core of Solr because of the reduction in search time when specifying a restrictive set of fields to return. For example, when I return 10 entire documents

If I wanted to hack Solr so that it has the ability to process wildcards for the field list parameter (fl), where would I look? (Perhaps I should look on the solr-dev mailing list, but since I am already on this one I thought I would start here). Thanks! -- -a "Ideally, a code library must
