match any field value? field:*?

Is it possible to search for all documents with a field?

I have documents with a bunch of fields and a field for 'error'
(string field with the actual error).  Is it possible do search for
documents that have an error?  Considering the new *:* syntax, i would
guess something like "error:*"

Do i need a separate boolean field that marks 'hasErrors' or something
like that?  If so, is there a clean way to do this with copyField?

thanks for any pointers

error:[* TO *] does the trick... or all docs without an error is - 
error:[* TO *]
