Re: MultiSearcher/ParallelSearcher - searching over multiple cores?
I think you'll have to make this go yourself, I don't see how to make Solr do it for you. And even if it could, the scores aren't comparable, so combining them for presentation to the user will be interesting Best Erick On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 2:27 PM, Ralf Musick ra...@gmx.de wrote: Hi Erik, I have several types with different properties, but they are supposed to be combined to one search. Imagine a book with property title and a journal with property name. (the types in my project have of course more complex properties.) So I created a new core with combined searchfields: field name is indexed, title is indexed, some shared properties are indexed like id. Further an additional solr field type is created. Of course there are several indexer, each per type. A specific type indexer stores only the fields of that type and stores further the type information eg book. After indexing, all types are in the same core. To search over all types, the query has to look like that ((title: bla) and (type: book)) or ((name: bla) and (type: journal)). At least you get books or journal sorted by boost factor - and you have the type information as return field to differ the search results. I hope it is coherent. Thanks for your answer, Best Ralf

Re: MultiSearcher/ParallelSearcher - searching over multiple cores?
As far as I know, you're right. There's no built-in way to do what you want, especially since the fact that you're talking about different search fields implies that the scores from the documents aren't comparable anyway. How do you intend to combine the results for presentation to the user? Best Erick On Aug 2, 2011 5:11 PM, Ralf Musick ra...@gmx.de wrote:
