Solr return all results when q=<empty>
There might be some other solutions available, I can propose you the following 2 solutions.
- You can check your input box. If it's empty, by default pass
*:*as input with the Solr URL. - Or you can modify your solrconfig.xml for the select request handler. Put
<str name="q.alt">*:*</str>
While querying
http://'localhost':8080/solr/collection1/select?q=&wt=xml&indent=true&defType=dismax
You can see though I've provided q= , but it'll return all the result. Because it'll take the q.alt query as the query parser is Dismax now. For further info please read here
