right. to further simplify things, you could index the article's meta data with each page, via an indexed method you mention in your field list. that method should retrieve the meta data from the parent article object and get this indexed together with each page. this might actually be faster than using multi_search (unless your article meta data is really large so that the overhead of indexing it with each page weighs in). In addition it would save you from having to handle different kinds of objects (Articles and Pages) in your result set. cheers, Jens -- webit!
