With the new sort by function in 1.5 (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#Sort_By_Function), will it now be possible to include the ExternalFileField value in the sort formula? If so, we could sort on last bid price or last bid time without updating the document itself.
However, to display the result with the fresh values, we need to go to DB, or is there someone working on the possibility to return ExternalFileField values for result view? -- Jan Høydahl - search architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com On 4. feb. 2010, at 06.25, Lance Norskog wrote: > Oops, forgot to add the link: > > http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/CDRG_ch04_4.4.4 > > On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 9:17 PM, Andy <angelf...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> How do I set up and use this external file? >> >> Can I still use such a field in fq or boost? >> >> Can you point me to the right documentation?
