Hi there, I have a question about filter (fq) performance in Solr 1.3. After doing some testing it seems as though adding a filter increases search time. From what I've read here http://www.derivante.com/2009/06/23/solr-filtering-performance-increase/
and here http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2009/05/27/filtered-query-performan ce-increases-for-solr-14/ it seems as though upgrading to 1.4 would solve this problem. My question is whether there is anything that can be done in 1.3 to help alleviate the problem, before upgrading to 1.4? It becomes an issue because the majority of searches that are done on our site need some content type excluded or filtered for. Does it make sense to use the fq parameter in this way, or is there some better approach since filters are almost always used? Thank you!
