Hi Aditya, Thanks for your response. Yes, a category type would be needed.
One thing I am not clear about, If you have multi-values like "toshiba, tecra, LCD" it is then clear that you can run solr queries like: fq=mymultivaluefield:LCD but for associated fields like: "make=toshiba, model=tecra, screen=LCD" "make=toshiba, model=tecra, screen=TFT" Is there a way for Solr to understand key=value pairs from a multi-value field? For example you may want to do a filter on screen type: fq=mymultivaluefield:screen and not fq=mymultivaluefield:screen:LCD On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 8:20 AM, findbestopensource < findbestopensou...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Eric, > > Certainly it is possible.
