Does Solr support empty queries? It'll be nice if Solr can return all
results if q is null. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to write a

request handler. Any thoughts?

The dismax handler has an "alt.q" parameter which is used as the  
query if the queyr string is emtpy.

To return all documents, set "alt.q=*:*"
