: Yes that worked, thanks Alan. The consistency of this api is challenging.
It's important to understand what's happening here.
fl, by default, only returns stored fields -- but you can also request
psuedo-fields such as the results of functions, or the result of a Doc
Transformer ...
Chris, the confusion from my perspective is the general inconsistency and
natural growth of the API which is somewhat expected based upon its history.
Obviously this isnt sql, there is no ansi body defining the query language. I
understand well the difference between stored, indexed etc.

Nope.
I wasn't defending the quirks of the API, or trying give
I am playing with external file field for sorting. I created a dynamic field
using the ExternalFileField type.
I naively assumed that the fl argument would allow me to return the value the
external field but doesnt seem to do so.
For instance I have a defined a dynamic field:
*_efloat
Did you store the field? I.e. set stored=true? And does the EFF contain
values for the docs you're returning?

Yep I did switch on stored=true in the field type. I was able to confirm a few
ways that there are values for the eff by two methods:
1) changing desc to asc produced drastically different results.
2) debugging FileFloatSource the following was getting triggered filling the

Why would I be re-indexing an external file field? The whole purpose is that
its brought in at runtime and not part of the index?

Hi Chris,
Try wrapping the field name in a field() function in your fl parameter list,
like so:
fl=field(eff_field_name)
