Hello Mr.Rochkind,
I am using StandardRequestHandler so I presume I
cannot use bq param right ?? Is there a way we can mix dismax and
standardhandler i.e use lucene syntax for query and use dismax style for bq
using localparams/nested queries? I remember seeing your post related to
localparams and nested queries and got thoroughly confused
