Peter Binkley commented on SOLR-380:
------------------------------------

The problem with the page-as-SorlDocument approach is that you then have to 
group the pages back under their container documents to present a unified 
result to the user (like this: http://tinyurl.com/yt2a25 ). I want the primary 
unit of granularity in search results to be the book, and the pages to be only 
a secondary layer. I also want to be able to do proximity searches that bridge 
page boundaries, have relevance ranking consider the whole book text and not 
just that page, etc.: i.e. treat the text as continuous for searching purposes. 
So I gain a lot by treating the book as the SolrDocument; I just need that 
extra bit of work to resolve the page positions to have it all.

> "Paged-Text" FieldType for Solr
> A chance to dig into the guts of Solr. The problem: If we index a monograph 
> in Solr, there's no way to convert search results into page-level hits. The 
> solution: have a "paged-text" fieldtype which keeps track of page divisions 
> as it indexes, and reports page-level hits in the search results.
> The input would contain page milestones: <page id="234"/>. As Solr processed 
> the tokens (using its standard tokenizers and filters), it would concurrently 
> build a structural map of the item, indicating which term position marked the 
> beginning of which page: <page id="234" firstterm="14324"/>. This map would 
> be stored in an unindexed field in some efficient format.
> At search time, Solr would retrieve term positions for all hits that are 
> returned in the current request, and use the stored map to determine page ids 
> for each term position. The results would imitate the results for 
> highlighting, something like:
> <lst name="pages">
>         <lst name="doc1">
>                 <int name="pageid">234</int>
>                 <int name="pageid">236</int>
>         </lst>
>         <lst name="doc2">
>                 <int name="pageid">19</int>
>         </lst>
> </lst>
> <lst name="hitpos">
>         <lst name="doc1">
>                 <lst name="234">
>                         <int name="pos">14325</int>
>                 </lst>
>         </lst>
>         ...
> </lst>
