: field, than you could use a warming query like the following: : : <arr name="queries"> : <lst> : <str name="q">common query</str> : <str name="qf">title description author</str> : <str name="fq">category:books</str> : <str name="sort">title_sort asc</str> : <str name="defType">dismax</str> : </lst> : </arr>
...it's improtant to remember that if params like your defType and qf (and sort and facet.field and fq etc...) are already specified as defaults on your query handler, you don't need to list them here -- just specify the handler you are using as the "qt" param (you didn't mention what it was named in your original email)... <arr name="queries"> <lst> <str name="q">common query</str> <str name="qt">standard_or_whater_you_named_it</str> </lst> </arr> In general, most people should really only need a handful of newSearcher warming queries -- you certianly don't need to list *every* query that you want to be "fast" in newSearcher -- just enough to ensure: * the basic index files are loaded by the OS * any fields you might sort on are used (in a sort) * any fields you might facet on or do functions over are used (in faceting/functions) -Hoss
