can you just add a new field that has the real or ave price?
Just populate that field at index time... make it indexed but not
stored
If you want the real or average price to be treated the same in
faceting, you are really going to want them in the same field.

I have 2 fields:

due to design the average price cannot be encoded in the 'realprice'-
field.
Since I need to be able to filter, sort and facet on these fields,
it would
be really nice to be able to do that just on something like a
virtual-field
called 'price' or something. That field should contain the
conditional logic
to know from which actual field to take the contents from.
I was looking at using functionqueries, but to me knowledge these
can't be
used to filter and facet on.
Would creating a custom field work for this or does a field know
nothing
from its sibling-fields? What would performance impact be like,
since this
is really important in this instance.
Any better ways? Subclassing standardrequestHandler and hacking it all
together seems rather ugly to me, but if it's needed...
