Re: Complex relational values

[Lance Norskog]

If 'item' is the unique document level, then this can be done with:
unique id: your own design
searchable text fields:
foo_x:
foo_y:
bar_x:
bar_y:

The query becomes:
foo_x:[100 TO *] AND foo_y:[500 TO *]

Note that to search the other fields with dismax, and foo* with the
standard query parser, you'll need to combine the two with the crazy
multi-parser syntax.

 Hi,

 I need to store structured information in an index entry for use when
 filtering. As XML, this could be expressed as:

 item
        some_fields_that_are_searched_using_dismax /
        data
                item type=foo x=100 y=200 /
                item type=bar x=300 y=1000 /
        /data
 /item

 I want to be able to *filter* search results according to the data in the
 item tags - eg. show all index entries which match the expression
 type=foo  x  100  y  500

 Having a multivalued field for type, x and y doesn't seem to work here as
 I need to maintain the relationship between a type/x/y.

 I'm not sure how to approach this problem. Is writing a custom field type
 the
 preferred approach?

 thanks,

 Phil.
