: How do I search for things that have no value or a specified value? Things with no value... (*:* -fieldName:[* TO *]) Things with a specific value... fieldName:A Things with no value or a specific value... (*:* -fieldName:[* TO *]) fieldName:A ..."or" if you aren't using "OR" as your default op.... (*:* -fieldName:[* TO *]) OR fieldName:A
: I have a few variations of: : -fname:[* TO *] OR fname:(A B C) that is just syntacitic sugar for... -fname:[* TO *] fname:(A B C) which is an empty set. you need to be explicit that the "exclude docs with a value in this field" clause should applied to the "set of all documents" -Hoss
