So for a requirement where I have a field which is used for sorting, faceting and searching what should be the better field definition.
Can it be *<field name="manu_exact" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" docValues="true" />* or Two fields each for sorting+faceting and for searching like following. *<field name="manu_exact" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" /><field name="manu_exact_sort" type="string" indexed="false" stored="false" docValues="true" />* Kindly note that it will be better if can use existing field for sorting, faceting and add searching on it like in example one above.
