can you you explain exactly how you are indexing the data and what your query looks like? I used the same field name (color), not 10 different names (c0 - c9). So the index fields look like (50% #00, 20% #99): color: #00 color: #00 color: #00 color: #00 color: #00

Hi, We're running an e-commerce site that provides product search. We've been able to extract colors from product images, and we think it'd be cool and useful to search products by color. A product image can have up to 5 colors (from a color space of about 100 colors), so we can implement it

Hi Guangwei, When you index your products, you could have a single color field, and include duplicates of each color component proportional to its weight. For example, if you decide to use 10% increments, for your black dress with 70% of black, 20% of gray, 10% of brown, you would index the

If it were just a couple of colors, you could have a separate field for each color and then index the percent in that field. black:70 grey:20 and then you could use a function query to influence the score (or you could sort by the color percent). However, this doesn't scale well to a large

Thanks for all the replies. I think creating 10 fields and feeding each field with a color's value for 10% from that color is a reasonable approach, and easy to implement too. One problem though, is that not all products have a total of 100% colors (due to various reasons including our color
