Hi Robin, Solr has built-in simple faceted searching that sounds like it does exactly what you are looking for: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters
If you haven't yet, go through the little Solr tutorial here: http://incubator.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html (unfortunately, we haven't added highlighting or faceting stuff to the tutorial). Then try adding some faceting parameters based on the first link I provided above. -Yonik On 11/1/06, Robin Bonin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am new to solr, and I have an idea of what I would like my end result to be. I want to run my plan by the list and make sure that I am approaching this in the best manor. * I have items in a database, each item has multiple tags (keywords). * I would like to preform a search, then get a unique list of all the tags that show up in the result set. * The user could then select a tag, and a new search would be preformed, and a new smaller list of tags would show up . The only way that I can think of doing this, is executing 2 searches, the initial one selecting the top 10 results to display. The second search would select just the tag strings for all the results. I would then have to loop though all the keywords testing to see if it was somewhere in the result (regular expression). Is there a better way to preform this task?
