Thank you Grant but FuntionQuery doesnt solve the problem. Looks like I didnt explain the problem properly. Let me try it again: 1. We have a document in which there are 4 text fields and a image field. 2. We have a special algorithm to perform match based on the image. In the sense, if 2 images are provided, the algorithm can determine with a match result and a score (which indicates likelihood of match) We want to know how we can integrate the "image matching" algorithm into Lucene/Solr. The search will happen through API only where the image is passed and matched images from the index needs to be given back as result. Wanted to understand if we could achieve the integration of this with Lucene/Solr so that both search on text fields and images can happen. Would be nice to hear your thoughts. cheers Prakash
