What you are look for is a distribution of search results. One way would be a two phase search Phase 1 : Search (with rows =0, No scoring, no grouping) 1. Find the groups (unique combinations) using pivot facets (won't work in distributed env yet) 2. Transform those groups as group.queries ..
Phase 2 : Actual search ( with group.queries ) Pros : Readily available and well tested. Cons : It will give you exact same number of results for each group, which may not be desired. Specifically with pagination. And of course, you are making two searches. 2nd Approach would be to have this logic of distributing along different dimensions as your own custom component. Solr's PostFilter/delegating collector can be used for same. Basically TopDocCollector just maintains a PriorityQueue for matching documents. You can plugin your own collector, so that it sees all matching documents. Identifies which groups they belong to (if groups/pivots have been already identified) , maintains the priority queue for each of them and then finally merges them. Quite a bit of customization if you ask me, but can be done and it would be most powerful. PS : We use the 2nd approach.
