Description

Reported by Bill Bell in SOLR-3085:

If you enter a non-fielded open-ended range in the search box, like [* TO *], eDismax will expand it to all fields:

+DisjunctionMaxQuery((content:[* TO *]^2.0 | id:[* TO *]^50.0 | author:[* TO *]^15.0 | meta:[* TO *]^10.0 | name:[* TO *]^20.0))

This does not make sense, and a side effect is that range queries for strings are very expensive, open-ended even more, and you can totally crash the search server by hammering something like ([* TO *] OR [* TO *] OR [* TO *]) a few times...
