How should one search on all fields? *:XX does not work

[Aaron Lewis <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to match all fields, so I tried this:
*:"XX"

Is that a bad practice? It does seem to be supported either

LoL. AFAIK, ElasticSearch does it by auto-copying all fields to _all_.
So, easy enough to replicate with a single "copyField * -> text"
instruction. With the appropriate loss of precision, analyzers, etc.

I don't think eDisMax supports '*' in the fl value, does it?
Otherwise, that would be a solution.

Hey, what do you think this is, Elasticsearch?!!

Or... try LucidWorks Search, which supports "ALL" as a pseudo-field name. It 
supports "*" as well.

See:
https://docs.lucidworks.com/display/lweug/Field+Queries

Whether LucidWorks still supports their (my!) query parser in their new 
Fusion product is unclear - I couldn't find any reference in the doc.
