Sounds like you're on the right track, if your groups overap (i.e. a document can be in group A and B), then you should ensure your "groups" field is multivalued.
If you are searching for "foo" in documents contained in group "A", then it might be more efficient to use a filter query (fq) like: q=foo&fq=groups:A See the wiki page on common query parameters for more info: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#head-6522ef80f22d0e50d2f12ec487758577506d6002 cheers, Piete On 20/09/2007, mark angelillo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey all, > > Let's say I have an index of one hundred documents, and these > documents are grouped into 4 groups A, B, C, and D.
