Right, not sure how to ask this question, what the terminology, but hopefully my explaination will help...
We are chucking data into solr for queries. i cant mention the exact data, but the closest thing i can think of is as follows: - Unique ID for the solr record (DB ID in this case) - A not so unique ID (say an ISBN number) - the name of the book (multiple names for this, each have a ISBN and a unique DB ID) - A Status of the book (books arent the correct term, but, say, a book has 4 editions but keeps the ISBN, we would have 4 names in Solr, each queryable. So, searching for the first edition title will return the correct ISBN). Anyway, what i want to be able to do is search for a single title (say Solr or Dummies) and find all instances of that title in index. but for each name, i want to be able to link the status of each title with each one. there are other "statuses" for each item also... Anyway, i had 2 ways of doing this: - the first way was using multi values, storing the names in a multi value list and also the statuses, but the linking dont seem to be working correctly... - the second way is storing each record uniqley, but with this i would need to run a second query to get all records for the ISBN... Any ideas which one i should be using? any tips on this? Thanks. -- Tiernan O'Toole blog.lotas-smartman.net www.geekphotographer.com www.tiernanotoole.ie
