Sort of - function queries. We don't have any conditional function queries yet, but that's easy. You can't yet sort by a function query, but we should fix that. You can't yet facet on a function query, but we should fix that too. Short term, Erick's index the doc twice idea may be best. Long term, out-of-the-box functionality after volunteers help develop out the function query approach :-) -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
