*Excellent* so a custom QueryComponent it is. The Solr score doesn't factor in too much - our search needs are modest - just does it contain the keyword (or variants, stems etc) or not. So the query trims down from ~100M to 10-10000. That way the more expensive filtering operates at the smaller set as you suggest.
I need to sort by one of my date fields or the external rank. The first is easy. The second is difficult so I will have to query the external system for all matching docs - but if its on the reduced set its manageable. One Remaining Question: I'd like to include my external threshold value int he document. Any ideas? Can I stuff a float field somewhere on the docs? Thanks! Jim hossman wrote: > > > : 1.
