Anyone understand how to do boolean logic across multiple fields? Dismax is nice for searching multiple fields, but doesn't necessarily support our syntax requirements. eDismax appears to be not available until Solr 3.1.
In the meantime, it looks like we need to support applying the user's query to multiple fields, so if the user enters "led zeppelin merle" we need to be able to do the logical equivalent of &fq=field1:led zeppelin merle OR field2:led zeppelin merle Any ideas? :) mrw wrote: > > After searching this list, Google, and looking through the Pugh book, I am > a little confused about the right way to structure a query. > > The Packt book uses the example of the MusicBrainz DB full of song > metadata.
