Getting all records using dismax

[Alexandru Badiu <al...@417.ro>]

Hello,

Since it's my first email to this list I want to say thank you for a  
wonderful piece of software.

Now, onto more serious business. :) I switched from the standard  
request handler to the dismax one to use boosting. Using the std one  
I was using a q=*:* to retrieve all records from solr. This approach  
doesn't work with dismax however. Nor [* TO *] or field_id:[* TO *].

I saw there was a discussion about this in February and I was  
wondering if there's been any changes. Can I retrieve all records  
using dismax? I could use the std one when there's no query but we're  
building a white-label portal which should boost specific fields all  
the time, fields which are not fixed (each partner will have it's own  
boosted fields).

Best regards,

Try leaving of the "q" param and using "q.alt=*:*"
