my brain was switched off. I'm using SOLRJ, which means I'll need to
specify multiple :
addMultipleFields(solrDoc, "vector", "vectorvalue", 1.0f);
for each value to be added to the multiValuedField.
Then, with luck, the simple wildcard query will be executed over each
individual value when looking for matches, meaning the simple query
syntax can made adequate to do what's needed.
Many thanks Uwe.

I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you mean.
The string I'm processing could have many tens of thousands of values... I
hope you aren't implying I'd need to split it into many tens of thousands of
"columns".
No, that is not what I meant. It will be one field (column) with tens of
thousands of values.
If you're saying what I think you're saying, you're saying that I should
leave whitespaces between the individual parts of the string, pass in the
string into a "multiValued" field and have SOLR internally treat each "word"
as an individual entity?
Thanks for your help with this...
I said nothing about whitespaces. I don't know how you update your solr
documents. Are you using XML or Solrj?
