One of the reasons I like Solr so much is because I get impressive results without having to know Lucene, which is something that will have to change because I also need this feature.

Could you explain in more detail where should I look? Can the TopFieldDocCollector/TopFieldDocs classes be used to this end? I'm immersing my self on Lucene but it will take some time.
We use Solr in a nutch-like manner (index distributed over a collection of servers, results are merged and similar documents collapsed). We have to do the collapsing outside of Solr due to the result combining, but I think it is a viable strategy for a single-instance too. Just slightly over-request the desired number of docs, collapse using arbitrary logic, and request more if necessary. The main disadvantage is if the user skips ahead several pages, all the intermediate results must be generated. -Mike
