I am currently using lucene directly to build custom queries. Can I write a plugin to build these custom BooleanQueries, RangeQueries, etc...? As a simple example, we have documents that represent coupons, events and activities. Some searches may only be for coupons and events. Currently, I programmatically build up a boolean query for this. I wanted to know if I could still do this with solr.
I just wanted to get a little bit of validation before investing a few hours into actually trying to use solr. I have been reading the tutorials, docs, but while I suspect that solr exposes the lucene query via plugins, I have not seen this spelled out (but I'm a bad speller;) Thank you for your time. Phillip
