I want to filter my result set before I search. I know the correct way to do this is by using the filter query (fq) parameter. However, I want to filter based on the output of a function performed on a field.
I have a field 'rating' which is an integer in the range of 1 to ~75000. The upper limit may change. I want to filter to the top 500 items with the highest 'rating'. In SQL this would be something like: ... ORDER BY rating DESC LIMIT 500 I think I can get the documents in solr ranked by rating descending by using the function rord(rating), so basically I would like to do: fq=rord(rating):[0 TO 500] But that does not seem possible. Does anyone know what else I could do? -- Pete Smith Senior Developer No.9 | 6 Portal Way | London | W3 6RU | T: +44 (0)20 8896 8070 | F: +44 (0)20 8896 8111 LOVEFiLM.com
