: I'm curious as to the meaning of a certain exception I am receiving. If : i try a query such as "*", I get an exception which basically says there : is a maximum of 1024 clauses for a BooleanQuery. However, if I enter : "*:*" it matches all documents and returns them. Can someone explain to : me what happens when the query is "*" versus a query for "*:*"?
*:* is syntactic sugar solr supports for finding all documents .... but i'm really suprised you get an error related to a max of 1024 clauses from a search for "*" .... to the best of my knowledge that has always (in released and unreleased versions) produced this example... Cannot parse '*': '*' or '?' not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery ...are you sure that's waht you were searching on? -Hoss
