All, I've searched around for help with something we are trying to do and haven't come across much. We are running solr 1.4. Here is a summary of the issue we are facing:
A simplified example of our schema is something like this: <field name="id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" /> <field name="title" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" /> <field name="date_posted" type="tdate" indexed="true" stored="true" /> <field name="supplement_title" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" /> <field name="supplement_pdf_url" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" /> <field name="supplement_pdf_text" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" /> When someone does a search we search across the title, supplement_title, and supplement_pdf_text fields. When we get our results, we would like to be able to tell which field the search matched and if it's a multiValued field, which of the multiple values matched. This is so that we can display results similar to: Example Title Example Supplement Title Example Supplement Title 2 (your search matched this document) Example Supplement Title 3 Example Title 2 Example Supplement Title 4 Example Supplement Title 5 Example Supplement Title 6 (your search matched this document) etc. How would you recommend doing this? Is there some way to get solr to tell us which field matched, including multiValued fields? As a workaround we have been using highlighting to tell which field matched, but it doesn't get us what we want for multiValued fields and there is a significant cost to enabling the highlighting. Should we design our schema in some other fashion to achieve these results? Thanks. -Tim
