Hello all!
We have a situation involving date searching that I could use some
seasoned opinions on. What we have is a collection of records, each
containing a Solr date field by which we want search on.
The catch is that we want to be able to search for items that match a
specific day/month. Essentially, we're trying to implement a "this day
in history" feature for our dataset, so that users would be able to put
in a date and we'd return all matching records from the past 100 years
or so.
Is there a way to perform this kind of search with only the basic Solr
date field? Or would I have parse out the month and day and store them
in separate fields at indexing time?
Thanks for the help!
