Yep seems this is the case. I found a work-around in case anyone wants to know. I adjusted my query to include a fq of '-myfield:1'. So pretty much, all my data that was in there already would have had a value of '0' for myfield so I can treat either myfield:0 or the absence of myfield as the same result. I wish there was an option to just completely reindex all data..i suppose optimize may do that a little bit?

I am trying to add a new field to my schema.xml with a : default value of 0. I have a ton of data indexed right now and it would : be very hard to retrieve all of the original sources to rebuild my : index. So my question is...is there any way to send a command to SOLR : that tells it to re-index everything it has and include the new field I : added? default values only affect documents as they are indexed. you can add that field, without reindexing anything, and solr will work, but those docs still won't have that value. you have to manually re-index everything for them to get it. -Hoss
