Hi Pascal: I have an issue similar to yours, but also need to facet the joined documents...
I've been playing with various things. There's not much documentation I can find. Looking at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Join, in the fourth example you can see the join being relegated to a filter query: http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=ipod&fl=*,score&sort=score+desc&fq={!join+from=id+to=manu_id_s}compName_s:Belkin So, I figured if you can do that, why not specify the query handler (qt). When I issue this query for my application: http://localhost:8091/solr/ing-content/select/?qt=partner-tmo&fq=type:node&q=brca1&fq={!join+from=conceptId+to=id+fromIndex=partner-tmo}*:*&debugQuery=true&rows=5&fl=id,n_type,n_name My configured edismax based request handler is named "partner-tmo", and with debugQuery=true I can see the query being handled by that handler: <str name="parsedquery_toString">+(n_pathway_namePartial:brca1^4.25 | n_pathway_name:brca1^8.5 | n_macromolecule_id:brca1^9.0 | n_m_s_macc:brca1^6.0 | n_go_id:brca1^6.0 | n_go_term:brca1^4.0 | n_cellreg_regulates:brca1 | n_acc_id_sp:brca1^9.5 | n_m_s_mseq:brca1^6.0 | n_namePartial:brca1^5.0 | n_synonymPartial:brca1^4.85 | n_neighborof_process:brca1^2.0 | n_acc_id_rs_mrna:brca1^9.5 | n_tissue_typePartial:brca1^4.0 | n_c_iupac:brca1 | n_member_name:brca1^9.7 | n_c_cas_number:brca1^2.0 | n_c_pubchem_cid:brca1^4.0 | n_protein_family:brca1^7.0 | n_cellreg_regulated_by:brca1 | n_go_termPartial:brca1 | n_function:brca1^7.0 | n_ref_author:brca1 | n_name:brca1^9.9 | n_m_s_mirbase_family_name:brca1^4.0 | n_protein_familyPartial:brca1^3.5 | n_type:brca1^2.0 | p_name:brca1^8.0 | n_m_s_mname:brca1^6.0 | n_c_systematic:brca1^2.0 | n_ref_source_id:brca1^4.0 | n_macromolecule_name:brca1^9.8 | n_c_formula:brca1^4.0 | n_memberof_name:brca1^9.7 | n_neighborof_name:brca1^6.0 | p_class:brca1^0.1 | n_cellreg_diseasePartial:brca1^4.5 | n_m_m_sacc:brca1^6.0 | n_ref_title:brca1^1.1 | n_m_acc:brca1^9.5 | n_acc_id_ug:brca1^9.5 | n_cellreg_binds:brca1 | n_synonym:brca1^9.7 | n_acc_id:brca1^9.5 | n_macromolecule_namePartial:brca1^4.9 | n_macromolecule_summary:brca^0.6 | n_m_s_mirbase_comments:brca1^0.6 | p_description:brca^7.0 | n_m_m_sname:brca1^6.0 | p_nameExact:brca1^10.0 | n_m_s_mirbase_family_acc:brca1^8.0 | n_tissue_type:brca1^7.0 | n_eg_id:brca1^9.5 | n_cellreg_disease:brca1^9.0 | n_typePartial:brca1^3.25 | p_classExact:brca1^1.5 | n_m_rna_target_name:brca1^3.0 | n_m_m_sseq:brca1^6.0 | n_acc_id_rs_prot:brca1^9.5 | n_m_seq:brca1^9.0 | n_cellreg_role_in_cellPartial:brca1^3.75 | n_memberof_namePartial:brca1^4.85 | n_cellreg_role_in_cell:brca1^7.5)~0.1 ()</str> I know, that's a lot fields to be searching. :) Anyway, I'm still working on figuring out the join results. It is doing something according to the debug output: <lst name="join"> <lst name="{!join from=conceptId to=id fromIndex=partner-tmo}*:*"> <long name="time">737</long> <int name="fromSetSize">1593981</int> <int name="toSetSize">63021</int> <int name="fromTermCount">63021</int> <long name="fromTermTotalDf">63021</long> <int name="fromTermDirectCount">62351</int> <int name="fromTermHits">63021</int> <long name="fromTermHitsTotalDf">63021</long> <int name="toTermHits">63021</int> <long name="toTermHitsTotalDf">63021</long> <int name="toTermDirectCount">62871</int> <int name="smallSetsDeferred">150</int> <long name="toSetDocsAdded">63021</long> </lst> </lst> I'm not sure how much this helps you, but it looks like you can combine join with [e]dismax.
