Hello Eric, Certainly it is possible. I would strongly advice to have field which differentiates the record type (RECORD_TYPE:"CAR" / "PROPERTY").
>>In general I was also wondering how Solr developers implement websites that uses tag filters.For example, a user clicks on "Hard drives" then get tags "External, Internal" then clicks on "External" and gets "usb, firewire" etc. By using faceting queries, You could acheive this.
