Our approach is to log queries for a while, boil them down to their
different use cases (full text search, simple facet, complex 2D ranged
with stats, etc) and then generate realistic parameter values for each
search field used in those queries. It's not perfect, but it gives you
large amounts of reasonably realistic queries.
Also, you can bypass the query cache by adding {!cache=false} to your query.
