Hi Ian, No, the * syntax you mentioned is not supported. However, there are a couple of ways of achieving this.
1. Create a copyField which has all the content and search on that -- as you mentioned 2. You can use dismax and add all the fields as the search field parameter either in the request of the defaults section in solrconfig.xml 3. You can explictly search for all fields by field:value syntax To get all terms, you can use the facet.field for all fields and get all the terms. However, I'm not able to understand the use-case for this.
