: Our environment is Solr 3.6.1. I have the following fieldType. There is a : field called 'body' of this fieldType. When I make a query: q=body:*, it is : talking longer than the expected. What are the changes I need to do to this : fieldType for better query performance? Some other fieldTypes in our schema : are performing better.
this is a *really* terrible practice -- especially for large text fields, it requires solr to scan every possible term in that field (ie: every word) looking to see which documents contain that term. if your goal is to query for docs that "have a value in the body field" then i highly suggest you add a boolean field called "has_body" and query that. Much faster. -Hoss
