Thanks for the explanation shawn. I will look at our autowarming time. Looking at your response i am thinking i might be doing few more things wrong 1. Does Must clause with any of the filter query makes any sense or is automatically implied. e.g if i want all the docs with firstName:michael and lastname:jordan, which of the following queries makes sense or both are equivalent a) q=*:*&fq=name:michael&fq=lastname:jordan b) q=*:*&fq=+name:michael&fq=+lastname:jordan
2.Does Must clause also implied with the join query. so in the following query i am joining between 2 cores, on field:id. It should filter first from the index "search" where title is full and then join on id and then only get the docs which also has status set to monitor. a ) q=*:*&fq=+{!join from=id to=id fromIndex=search force=true}title:full&fq=+status:monitor b) q=*:*&fq={!join from=id to=id fromIndex=search force=true}title:full&fq=status:monitor so of the above which one is accurate a) or b) -- Sent from: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html
