I believe you do have to re-index the entire document. From what I have read, this is a Lucene limitation not a Solr one. I have run into this problem too and it's a pain to deal with. If you have data relevant for ranking but not searching, then consider storing it elsewhere and write a custom function to bring the data into Solr. - Amit
