I would love to see such a feature.
I have a multi core solr setup with each core having utterly
different content. Each core has its own "custom search app"
that exploits nuances specific to a particular data set. The
fieldnames are chosen as best fits a particular data set.
However I would also like to have one of two general search
features that span all cores. This is a crude, one size fits
all, type of search:-
One core has fields:-
author
title
text
Another has
sender
subject
message
Another has
placename
description
I either need to rename all fields within some of the
"custom search apps" to account for the needs of the global
search or perform lots of copyFields, or construct really
nasty queries.
I currently use the copyFields approach. I think aliases
would allow for far more efficient indexes and clear code.
Regards Fergus.
