Here's the problem with what you're outlining: Solr/Lucene doc ids are NOT invariant, so the doc IDs you get from "the other system" will not be directly usable by in the filter. But assuming the other system stores what you've defined as you could walk the index and get the doc IDs from that (See

Good point - though the inverse could be true where only a few documents is allowed and then a big list still exists. Even in the middle ground, its still going to be a long list of thousands. Thanks Mike > Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2010 14:58:33 + > Subject: Re: Lower level filtering

Lower level filtering

2010-12-15 Thread Michael Owen
Hi all, I'm currently using Solr and I've got a question about filtering on a lower level than filter queries. We want to be able to restrict the documents that can possibly be returned to a users query. From another system we'll get a list of document unique ids for the user which is all the d
