Hmmm, I'm still not getting it... You have one or more lists. These lists change once a month or so. Are you trying to include or exclude the documents in these lists? And do the authors you want to include or exclude change on a per-query basis or would you be all set if you just had a filter that applied to all the authors on a particular list?
But I *think* what you want is a SearchComponent that implements your Filter. You can see various examples of how to add components to a seach handler in the solrconfig.xml file. WARNING: Haven't done this myself, so I'm partly guessing here. Although here's a hint that someone else has used this approach: http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/msg54240.html And you'll want to insure that the Filter is cached so you don't have to compute it more than once.
