No idea if this will actually work as it's a boundary case, but how
about omega with:

$setmap{prefix,url,Q}
$hitlist{url = $field{url}
}

and search it for url:*

The bit I'm uncertain about is whether wildcards will work like that
or not. If not, write a python, php or whatever script using the
bindings to list all terms in the database, skip_to "Q" and keep
printing until they don't start with "Q" any more.
