When searching, you search across all the parts ( known as shards) and then generate 1 set of results out of sum of results. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DistributedSearch Espero que sirva para aclarar, B _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "The more I see the less I know for sure."
