So name, age, location, gender and qualification will be separate fields in the schema. This will allow you to query the way you are asking q=gender:female OR by age q=age:[22 TO 30] Use tint (solr.TrieIntField) for the age field (if you are using Solr 1.4) -- "Good Enough" is not good enough. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. Quality First. Measure Twice. Cut Once.
