You can have two fields: one which is stripped, and another which stores the original data. You can use <copyField> directives and make the "stripped" field indexed but not stored, and the original field stored but not indexed. You only have to upload the file once, and only store the text once.
If you look in the default schema, you'll find a bunch of text fields are all copied to "text" or "text_all", which is indexed but not stored. This catch-all field is the default search field. http://lucidworks.lucidimagination.com/display/solr/Copying+Fields On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 2:06 PM, okayndc <bodymo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Great, thank you for the input.
