: as an intermediate hack the best solution i see is to just make the : chapter fields multivalued fields inside the resolutions, this should be : a decent solution for (a), though this way i will not really have any : information on the number of chapters matched (let alone their id's). : this approach however also means that i need to index the chapters : separately again for the type (b) search.
this is in fact what i recommend ... for usecase (a) the documents with multiple "chapters" matching will already score higher, so unless you specificly need to saying "X or Y chapters matched" when you display each document things should work fine for hte most part.
