You may be able to use faceting for this. Use facet.method=enum - it will be more efficient for this specific use.
The main problem is that you can't specify a start term for faceting though (you can only use numeric offset / limit into the list). To do more will require either adding some terms component features to faceting, or faceting features to terms component. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 3:14 PM, Naomi Dushay <ndus...@stanford.edu> wrote: > I have a field that has millions of values, and I need to get "the next X > values" in alpha order.
