OK, talk of different fields threw me. To enable a client to turn on/off a specific filter without knowing what that filter is, add the following parameter to the query string when you want to turn the filter on: fq=<!v=$filter1>
Then add a default for the filter1 param in lucene query syntax (like +cat:electronics +inStock:true) to whatever handler you want to query (refer to the examples in solrconfig.xml for how to do this). -Yonik On Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 3:34 PM, Owens, Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > What field??? or what filter? > > I'm not really sure I still understand what you are trying to accomplish. > > Perhaps if you have some explicit examples of what types of things > > clients would send in as query parameters to Solr, and what types of > > lucene queries you actually want to be generated. > > Oh dear a complete break down, > > OK so our perl based software uses http to set a request to solr, we want > for our software to be able to control the query filters being used with each > search by modifying attributes in the http query string such as I think you > were suggesting.
