I have a ~1 mil product document Solr index. I also have a whole bunch of UI filters such as, categories, tabs, price ranges, sizes, colors, and some other filters.

Is it the right way to have the q selecting everything (q=\*:\*) while all other filters in the fq? example:

fq=(catid:90 OR catid:81) AND priceEng:[38 TO 40] AND (size:39 OR size:40 OR size:41 OR size:50 OR size:72) AND (colorGroup:Yellow OR colorGroup:Violet OR colorGroup:Orange ... AND (companyId:81 OR companyId:691 OR companyId:671 OR companyId:628 OR companyId:185 OR companyId:602 OR ... AND endShipDays:[* TO 7])

To me, everything from categories to companyIds, from colors and sizes, etc are just filters. Any problem in performance in the future growth with this approach ? Should I put some of the queries in the q, which ones ?

Thank you,

    It’s preferable to use Filter Query over normal Query wherever possible.

    FilterQuery is able to take advantage of the FilterCache, which would be a huge performance boost in comparison to your queries.
