Thanks Erick for your inputs, Yes, i was indeed looking for this. I was little worried about the * expansion. As it is already part of a large query. But this sounds like the simplest way I can achieve this for now. If I indeed slows down, will revisit this.
Was wondering if some how I can create a spanterm from different fields, I should be able to position limit them using span aware parsers. Sorry, if I am just day dreaming.
