Hi, I am a lucene user & a Solr newbie.
I needed to setup searching over a new category of documents which we decided to keep in a separate index, because of very different schema & needs from our existing index. Since faceted searching was 1 of the new requirements, I decided to try Solr & was pleasantly surprised to have a basic prototype search running in less than 2 hours. Hearty thanks to all those who helped build solr. Now the issue I am facing is, this. Given a user query, I need to search all indexes (right now 2) & merge results. I though quite a bit & could not come up with good ways of doing this. 1 possible solution is to tweak the idf to represent idf over all indexes. This would possibly make the scores from different indices comparable. I am positive others would have faced this issue, so wanted thoughts on what has worked for them. This is not a solr specific question, but becomes more important to solr, because solr abstracts us away from most of the searching logic. Thanks, mekin
