thank you. You were right. Indexing by "" does not do what I need.
How would one represent a null index? Perhaps another way of asking the
question is what query would return to me all the documents in the
database (all-pass filter).
thank you for your patience!

The best and most deterministic way to answer this kind of question is
to download Luke and look at the explained query. That'll show you
exactly what the effect of different analyzers and the exact structure
of the resulting query.
Offhand, I don't think your rewrite will work.

Hi,
I am trying to do a search as follows (this is a very simplified
example):
I want to search for: (1) the little boy or (2) one little boy or (3)
little boy
Can I write the query as:
"the OR one OR "" " AND "little" AND "boy"
note that what I mean by "" is "Nothing".
thank you,
-Ghinwa
PS. I know that I can write the query as "the little boy" OR "one little
boy" OR "little boy"
