Thanks Peter , for your input . I really would like a document and schema agnostic solution as in solr 1872.
Am I right in my assumption that SOLR1872 is same as the solution that we currently have where we add a flter query of the products to orignal query and hence (SOLR 1872) will also run into TOO many boolean clause expanson error?
