The design issue for this is to be clear about the schema and how documents are mapped into the schema. If all document types are mapped into the same schema, then one type of query will work for all. If the documents have different schemas (in the search index), then the query needs an expansion specific to each document type. Example: I have RFC-2822 mail messages with "Subject:" and HTML with "<title>". If I store those in Solr as subject and title fields, then each query needs to search both fields. If I put them both in a "document_title" field, then the query can search one field. wunder -- Walter Underwood Search Guru, Netflix
