Let me give the full user case... There has been a little misunderstanding, but really some good discussions...
1. Some Cardiologists are also Family Doctors and Internal Medicine doctors (Internist). 2. The use case that confuses the users is the output of the query when using dismax across 2 fields (search name and specialties, but when it matches exactly on specialties, someone know that...). q=Cardiologist&defType=dismax&qf=specialties^1.0 name^2.0&facet=true&facet.field=specialties numFound=812 but the facet for Cardiologist is 700. The discrepency is that some are matching soundex... So they see as specialties: Cardiologist: 700 Internist: 45 Family Doctor: 20 But since the string "Cardiologist" matches what they type, I would like it selected and limit to 700. But if it does not match I want it ignored. In essence I want: fq=specialties:"what user types" but only if it matches. It it does not match I want it ignored... Something like: fq=IF(count(specialties:Cardiologist)>0)specialties:Cardiologist,*:* Or more generic: fq=IF(count(specialties:$input)>0)specialties:$input,*:* Not sure how to do that without 2 queries into Solr.
