Hi Zhangchi
Thanks for your reply. We have about 3 million records (different isbns) in the database and documents little more than that, and we wouldn't want to do the deduping at indexing time, because one book ( one isbn ) can be available under 2 or more categories( like fiction, comics & novels, science etc) We had actually applied filter on the primary key ie ID, and it wasn't working, so I was hoping for some sample code. But then we found out that the field name on which we wanted the duplicate filter to be applied (Id) was not actually indexed while adding it into the document. ie Field.Index was set to NO. We changed this, repopulated the documents and the filtering works now. Thanks for your time. zhangchi wrote: > > > i think you should check the index first.using the lukeall to see if there > is the duplicate books. > > On Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:43:26 +0800, ani...@ekkitab <ani...@ekkitab.com> > wrote: > >> >> Hi there, Could someone help me with the usage of DuplicateFilters.
