Thanks Chris. I was just going to sit down and see if I could get join to do what I want within a single index. I'm glad I checked my email first. :)
However, I need to see how else to solve the problem, and it looks likes the most apropriate line of reasoning is in your response to Kashif Kahn's 05-Dec-11 email thread with the subject "Facet on a field with rows=n". I'll reply to that and officially abandoned my pursuit of join. Cheers, Jeff On Dec 9, 2011, at 1:34 PM, Chris Hostetter wrote: > > : What you said about faceting is the key.
