I think in this case you would want to index each question with the
possible referrers ( by title might be too imprecise, I'd go with
filename or ID) and then do a search like this (assuming in this case
it's by filename)
q=(referring:TomCruise.html) OR (question: Tom AND Cruise)
Which seems to be what you're thinking.
I would make the referrer a type "string" though so that you don't
accidentally pull in documents from a different subject (Tom Cruise
this would work ok, but imagine you need to distinguish between George
Washington and George Washington Carver).

Hey all,
I'm having trouble articulating a query and I'm hopeful someone out
there
can help me out :)
My situation is this: I am indexing a series of questions that can
either be
asked from a main question entry page, or a specific subject page. I
have a
field called "referring" which indexes the title of the specific
subject
page, plus the regular question whenever that document is submitted
from a
specific specific subject page. Otherwise, every document is indexed
with
just the question.
Specifically, what I am trying to do is when I am on the page specific
subject page (e.g. Tom Cruise) I want to search for all of the
questions
asked from that page, plus any question asked about Tom Cruise.
Something
like:
q=(referring:Tom AND Cruise) OR (question:Tom AND Cruise)
"Have you ever used a Tom Tom?" - Not returned
"Where is the best place to take a cruise?" - Not returned
"When did he have is first kid?" - Returned iff question was asked
from Tom
Cruise page
"Do you think that Tom Cruise will make more movies?" - Always
returned
Any thoughts?
