Yep. Just pass distrib=false when querying. At some point we need to optimize the case when a single node will satisfy the query - and not just in the single shard case. For upcoming custom hashing, if the requested hash range lies completely in the shard, we shouldn't go distributed. -Yonik http://lucidworks.com
