Hi, I have the following kind of data to index in a multilingual context: is_man, is_single, has_job, etc.
Logically, the underlying fields have a value of "yes" or "no." That's why the boolean type would be appropriate. But my problem is, in addition to be able to filter on these fields, I would like to give my users the possibility to search against these fields using free text. i.e., a query might be "single man having job." Therefore, I think that the boolean type is not appropriate anymore. Instead, I'm thinking of using the string type, and each field will be either empty (the "no" case), or populated by its own tag. e.g., if we deal about a man, the field is_man will contain the string "man." Then, I copy all these fields into a text field that I ca user for free text search. Does that make sense? Does that make sense in a multilingual context, i.e., field tags can be different in each language (EN => man, single, jog, FR => homme, célibataire, emploi, etc.) Thanks! -Saïd
