The collapsed documents are represented by one "master" document which
can be part of the normal search result (the doc list), so pagination
just works as expected, meaning taking only the returned documents in
account (ignoring the collapsed ones). As for the scoring, the "master"
document is actually the document with the highest score in the
collapsed group.
As for Solr 1.3 compatibility... well... it's very hart to tell. All
latest patch are certainly *not* 1.3 compatible (I think they're also
depending on some changes in lucene which are not available for solr
1.3). I guess you'll have to try some of the old patches, but I'm not
sure about their stability.

Thanks Uri. How does paging and scoring work when using field collapsing?
What patch works with 1.3? Is it production ready?

The development on this patch is quite active. It works well for single
solr instance, but distributed search (ie. shards) is not yet supported.
Using this page you can group search results based on a specific field.
There are two flavors of field collapsing - adjacent and non-adjacent, the
former collapses only document which happen to be located next to each other
in the otherwise-non-collapsed results set. The later (the non-adjacent) one
collapses all documents with the same field value (regardless of their
position in the otherwise-non-collapsed results set). Note, that
non-adjacent performs better than adjacent one. There's currently discussion
to extend this support so in addition to collapsing the documents, extra
information will be returned for the collapsed documents (see the discussion
on the issue page).

Hi Solrers,
I would like to get your opinion on how to best approach a search
requirement that I have. The scenario is I have a set of business
listings
that may be group into one parent business (such as 7-eleven having
several
locations). On the results page, I only want 7-eleven to show up once but
also show how many locations matched the query (facet filtered by state,
for
example) and maybe a preview of the some of the locations.
Searching for the business name is straightforward but the locations
within
the a result is quite tricky. I can do the opposite, searching for the
locations and faceting on business names, but it will still basically be
the
same thing and repeat results with the same business name.
Any advice?
Thanks,
R
