isn't that kind of orthoginal to the question though? ... a user can use the new psuedo-field functionality to request values from the FieldCache instead of stored fields, but specificly in the case of distributed search, when the first request is only asking for the uniqueKey values and scores, shouldn't that use the FieldCache to get those values? (w/o the user needing to jumpt thorugh hoops in how the request is made/configured) -Hoss
