Thank you, I am already on 4alpha. Patch feels a little too unstable for my needs/familiarity with the codes.
What about something around multiple cores? Could I have full-text fields stored in a separate cores and somehow (again, minimum hand-coding) do search against all those cores and get back combined list of document IDs? Or would it making comparative ranking/sorting impossible? Regards, Alex.
