Hi Stefan, Thanks for answering.
In more details, my problem is the following. I'm working on searching points of interest (POIs), which can be hotels, restaurants, plumbers, psychologists, etc. Those POIs can be identified among other things by categories or by brand. And a single POIs might have different categories (no maximum number). User might enter a query like McDonald’s Paris or Restaurant Paris or many other possible queries First I want to do a facet search on brand and categories, to find out which case is the current case. http://localhost:8080/solr /select?q=restaurant paris &facet=true&facet.field=BRAND& facet.field=CATEGORY and get an answer like <lst name="facet_fields"> <lst name="CATEGORY"> <int name="Restaurant">598</int> <int name="Restaurant Hotel">451</int> Then I want to send a request with fq= CATEGORY: Restaurant and still get answers with CATEGORY= Restaurant Hotel. One solution would be to modify the data to add a new document every time we have a new category, so a POI with three different categories would be index three times, each time with a different category. But I was wondering if there was another way around.
