: A feature :-) : Solr uses ConstantScoreRangeQuery and ConstantScorePrefixQuery to : avoid getting exceptions from too many terms. Hmmm... except for the fact that the name would be even more missleading, there's really no performance related reason why ConstantScoreRangeQuery and ConstantScorePrefixQuery couldn't use the fieldNorms (if they exist) when computing the score. the "constant score" part of their names refered to not doing term expansion to find tf/idf factors ... but the doc/field/length info encoded into the norms could still be factored into the score fairly efficiently. this would be something to submit as apatch to Lucene-Java if anyone is interested. -Hoss
