Hi Kallin, again please look at FieldCollapsing<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FieldCollapsing> , that should do the trick. basically: first you constrain the field: 'listOfIds' to only contain docs that contain any of the (up to) 100 random ids as you know how to do
Next, in the same query, specify to collapse on field 'listOfIds ' basically: q=listOfIds:1 OR listOfIds:10 OR listOfIds:24& collapse.threshold=1&collapse.field=listOfIds&collapse.type=normal this would return the top-matching doc for each id left in listOfIds. Since you constrained this field by the ids specified you are left with 1 matching doc for each id. Again it is not guarenteed that all docs returned are different. Since you didn't specify this as a requirement I think this will suffics.
