So, basically for each car, you want to generate a query with the same parameter (e.g. make) and then say where in the results for that query, your particular car would be. Right?
I think the only way is to run the query and to see where the car is in the result. So, a custom code of some sort. But you don't have to do it in the Client. You could do it in a Solr PostFilter and basically do the count there and just not return anything while - somehow - injecting the count into the results (maybe via custom search module). http://www.solr-start.com/javadoc/solr-lucene/org/apache/solr/search/PostFilter.html Or maybe in a custom search module, though I suspect that's harder and more expensive. Or enable lazy-loading and request only Id fields to make it cheaper to iterate through larger query on the client (possibly with a cursor mark). Hope some of these help.
