Have a look at http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/msg03394.html

The thread goes on to describe that just using q=*:* is efficient and is very usefull for getting facets for browsing / navigation.

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 customized
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=*:*"
