I agree that pulling all attributes into the parent sku during indexing could work well. Define a Boolean field like 'isVirtual' to identify the non-leaf skus, and use a multi-valued field for each of the attributes. For now you can do a search like (isVirtual:true AND doorType:screen). If at a later date you want the actual variants just search for isVirtual:false.
Does that work? -Kallin Nagelberg -----Original Message----- From: Leonardo Menezes [mailto:leonardo.menez...@googlemail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 11:13 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Challenge: Searching for variant products and get basic products in result set if that is so, and maybe, you have for example, two variants of cars with automatic, what would define on which one was the hit? or field dont share common information across variants? if they do share, you wouldnt be able to define in which one was the hit(because it was on both of them) and would either have to pick one randomly, or retrieve both. if they dont share that info, you would have that covered, since only one would match any given query.
