Hmm, depending on what you are actually needing to do, can you do it with a simple fq param to filter out what you want filtered out, instead of needing to write custom Java as you are suggesting? It would be a lot easier to just use an fq.
How would you describe the documents you want to filter from the query results page? Can that description be represented by a Solr query you can already represent using the lucene, dismax, or any other existing query? If so, why not just use a negated fq describing what to omit from the results? ________________________________________ From: Babak Farhang [farh...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 6:58 PM To: solr-user Subject: query results filter Hi everyone, I have some existing solr cores that for one reason or another have documents that I need to filter from the query results page. I would like to do this inside Solr instead of doing it on the receiving end, in the client. After searching the mailing list archives and Solr wiki, it appears you do this by registering a custom SearchHandler / SearchComponent with Solr. Still, I don't quite understand how this machinery fits together. Any suggestions / ideas / pointers much appreciated! Cheers, -Babak ~~ Ideally, I'd like to find / code a solution that does the following: 1. A request handler that works like the StandardRequestHandler but which allows an optional DocFilter (say, modeled like the java.io.FileFilter interface) 2. Allows current pagination to work transparently. 3. Works transparently with distributed/sharded queries.
