Have a look at the q.alt parameter
(http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler#q.alt) which is used
for exactly this issue. Basically putting q.alt=*:* in your query means
you can leave out the q parameter if you want all documents to be selected.

Hi all,
We have a web application build on top of Solr, and we are using a lot of
facets - everything works just fine.
When the user first hits the searchpage - we would like to do a "get all query"
to the a result, and thereby get all facets so we can build up the user interface from
this result/facets.
So I would like to do a q=*:* on the search. But since I have switched to the
dismax requesthandler this does not work anymore. ?
My request/url looks like this:
a) /solr/da/mysearcher/?q=*:* Does not work
b) /solr/da/select?q=*:* Does work
But I really need to use a) since I control boosting/ranking in the definition.
Furthermore when the user "drill down" the search result, by selecting from the
facets, I still need to get the full searchresult, like:
/solr/da/mysearcher/?q=*:*&fq=color:red Does not work.
