That depends. If all the ids are in a certain range then you are best
off using a range query. If the are randomly distributed then you can
use an "or" query, although a MultiTermQuery would be better. To
specify it in Ferret Query Language just add the terms separated by a
"|". For example:
index.search(query + ' id:"1257|8732|3428|2387"')
Or if the IDs are in an array you'd do it like this:
index.search(query + ' id:"' + id_ary.join('|') + '"')
You could also build a filter but I don't think it would be worth it
in this case.
