Yes, I'm looking for "the doc with the latest date prior to my input, and the doc with the earliest date after my input", not "the two docs with a date which is closest to my input". One application of this is to determine email's signature. One person's email signature may change over time. So I only want to compare one email with the emails immediately before or after this one. I haven't written any java code yet. But maybe someday I will try for this one. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Find-docs-close-to-a-date-tf3507295.html#a9858867 Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
