See the comment in the example
ght? That is to say the randomness
is implemented at index time rather than search time?

If it's just a random ordering you are looking for, it's implemented
in the latest Solr 1.3
Solr 1.3 should be out soon, so if you are just starting development,

Fundamentally, Lucene is designed to quickly return the best
hits for a query. Returning random hits from the entire
matched set is likely to be very slow. It just isn't what

I have seen various posts about implementing random sorting relating to the 1.3
code base but I am trying to do this in 1.2. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The approach I have considered is to implement my own request handler that
