Hi Tom, why not defining three fields in your schema.xml?
One field is the name-field (e.g. Apache or McDonald's) and another field is the category-name. The last field contains on the category id. If you define a synonymFilter for query-time-filtering, you don't need to reindex the whole index. Unfortunately you need to restart your Solr-instance (or was it only the core? I don't know...) to make recently added synonyms available at search-time. If you set expand = true, a query like "restaurant" could also match fast food. The synonym.txt for this usecase looks like: restaurant => fast food, restaurant Hope this helps - Mitch -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-associations-tp742443p742837.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
