: I'd argue that the behavior is incorrect. Could you raise a JIRA?
that behavior was intentionally added becaus most users kept getting
really confused by the older default behavion (which was previously a
0-length prefix against hte default search field)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2996
if you do in fact whant a 0-length prefix query against hte default search
field...
* use the prefix parser: q={!prefix f=$df v=''}
* use an explicit field name: q=yourDefaultField:*
...if you just want all fields that contain any terms in your default
field, use the "fieldName:[* TO *]" range syntax (which should be more
efficient ... although it's possible "fieldName:*" was also optimized to
be as efficient ... i can't remember)
