Hi, If you don't need to search all of the data in a single query, use separate indices. You don't need to run separate Solr instances - you can simply use Solr multi-core functionality.
Sticking different types of data into a single index and then searching only a subset could mess with your term frequency/weights and could affect your relevance score computation.
