I just noticed that link on the first reply from Yonik about FederatedSearch. I see that a lot of thought went in to it. I guess the question to ask would be, any progress on it, Yonik? :)

Are there any plans on implementing a MultiSearcher into solr? I have been following the list for a while, and read quite a few topic on multiple instances of solr, in order to accomodate multiple schemas as well as break down index sizes for performance reasons. I have a use case that sits right in the middle of these. I need to be able to break down the data into collections, which might be defined by business factors, but also be able search across these collections. When I say search across, I would expect to see a results list ordered in relevance, just as you would expect when searching a single collection. Does solr support such a use case? Does anyone have a working implementation of it that you would like to share? If there aren't any plans on implementing the above, any suggestions on tackling the above requirement?
