thx for the reply, i just want the number of dupes in the query result, but it seems i dont get the correct totals,
for example a non collapsed dismax query for belgian beer returns X number results but when i collapse and sum the number of docs under collapse_counts, its much less than X it does seem to work when the collapsed results fit on one page (10 rows in my case) --joe > 2) It seems that you are using the parameters as was intended. The > collapsed documents will contain all documents (from whole query > result) that have been collapsed on a certain field value that occurs > in the result set that is being displayed. That is how it should work. > But if I'm understanding you correctly you want to display all dupes > from the whole query result set (also those which collapse field value > does not occur in the in the displayed result set)?
