I want to user to be able to select certain documents and "save" their
ids some where else. This is not a problem. However, I also want to
give
the user an ability to say "Select All Documents". This would need to
save the ids of ALL documents found with user's given query and query
filter (based on the facets that they selected). This list could
potentially contain over 10,000 documents. Question: How to easily and
quickly grab the IDs of all these documents?
Why not just save the query itself instead of the id's? if you're
worried about new docs showing up that weren't available when the user
saved the docs you could always filter them by a 'createdtime' field
that gets set when you index the docs.
Ah, good idea with the createdtime! I like it.
3) Once the user saves the list, I want them to be able to do further
searches by do a "negative union" with the set of ids they already
saved. So for example, if they already saved 1000 ids into one of
their
lists, they would need to be able to get results from Solr that match
their query but are NOT in the set of 1000 ids that they already
saved.
Is this possible?
Even more reason to save the queries and not the id's. then its
(query1expr) NOT (query2expr)
But in the use case mentioned, the user is collecting specific
documents not necessarily all of them.
