RE: Solr grouping / facet query
Thanks for the reply Robi. The key idea is to search for authors including text in their bio and any authored titles then display any relevant titles next to the author's name. Currently, the only way to do this is index by title and include the bio data in each document then group by author. This is how I now have things setup, however, the bio data is duplicated. I'm not sure if this duplicated data in the index will affect relevancy or performance ... I think the benefits of grouping this way will outweigh the cost.

Re: Solr grouping / facet query
Thanks for the reply. To clarify, the idea is to search for authors with certain specialties (eg. political, horror, etc.) and if they have any published titles relevant to the user's query, then display those titles next to the author's name. At first, I thought it would be great to have all the author's data (name, location, bio, titles with descriptions, etc) all in one document. Each title and description being a multivalued field, however, I have no idea how the relevant titles based on the user's query as described above can be quickly picked from within the document and displayed. The only solution I see is to have a doc per title and include the name, location, bio, etc in each one. As for the author's with no published titles, simply add their bio data to a document with no title or description and when I do the grouping check to see if the title is blank, then display no titles found. This could work, though I'm concerned if having all that duplicate bio data will affect the relevancy of the results or speed/performance of solr?

Solr grouping / facet query
Could anyone suggest the options available to handle the following situation: 1. Say we have 1,000 authors 2. 65% of these authors have 10-100 titles they authored; the others have not authored any titles but provide only their biography and writing capability. 3. We want to search for authors, group the results by author, and show the 4 most relevant titles authored for each (if any) next to the author name. Since not all authors have titles authored, I can't group titles by author. Also, adding their bio to each title places a lot of duplicate data in the index. So the search results would look like this; Author A title0, title6, title8, title3 Author G no titles found Author E title4, title9, title2 Any suggestions would be appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-grouping-facet-query-tp3995787.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
