How would you characterizer the differences that you see which you try
"q=search string ...&fq=type:(type_a OR type_b OR type_c OR ...)"? That does
look like the right way to do it. Is the count of documents different? Are
some documents missing or added? Or is it just the ordering of documents
that is different?
For the latter, the fq is purely a "filter" that removes documents, but the
terms in fq do not participate in relevance or scoring calculation of
documents, so documents will not get boosted based on the terms present in
fq.

Subject: Using fq as OR
Hi,
Currently, I'm building my search as follows:
q=(search string ...) AND (type:type_a OR type:type_b OR type:type_c OR
...)
Which means anything I search for will be AND'ed to be in either fields that
have "type_a", "type_b", "type_c", etc. (I have defaultOperator set to
"AND")
Now, I need to use "fq" so I'm not sure how to build my search string to get
the same result!!
I have tried the following:
q=search string ...&fq=type:type_a&fq=type:type_b&fq=type:type_c&...
But this isn't the same because each additional "fq" is now being treated as
AND (keep in mind, I have defaultOperator set to "AND" and I cannot change
that).
I have tried the following:
q=search string ...&fq=type:(type_a OR type_b OR type_c OR ...)
But the result I get back is not the same.
Thanks in advanced !!!
