I've been looking all over for a clear answer to this question and can't seem to find one. It seems like a very basic concept to me though so maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. I want to be able to search across multiple collections (as it is now called in SolrCloud world, previously called Cores). I want the scoring, sorting, faceting etc. to be blended, that is to be relevant to data from all the collections, not just a set of independent results per collection. Is that possible?
A real-world example would be a merchandise site that has books, movies and music. The index for each of those is quite different and they would have their own schema.xml (and therefore be their own Collection). When in the 'books' area of a website the users could search on fields specific to books (ISBN for example). However on a 'home' page a search would span across all 3 product lines, and the results should be scored relative to each other, not just relative to other items in their specific collection. Is this possible in v4.0? I'm pretty sure it wasn't in v1.4.1. But it seems to be a fundamentally useful concept, I was wondering if it had been addressed yet.
