That's odd - there should be nothing special about negative numbers. Here are a couple of ideas: - if you have a really big index and querying by a negative number is much more rare, it could just be that part of the index wasn't cached by the OS and so the query needs to hit the disk. This can happen with any term and a really big index - nothing special for negatives here. - if -1 is a really common value, it can be slower. is fq=uid:\-2 or other negative numbers really slow also? -Yonik http://lucidimagination.com
