Thanks for the reply. 

To clarify, the idea is to search for authors with certain specialties (eg.
political, horror, etc.) and if they have any published titles relevant to
the user's query, then display those titles next to the author's name. 

At first, I thought it would be great to have all the author's data (name,
location, bio, titles with descriptions, etc) all in one document. Each
title and description being a multivalued field, however, I have no idea how
the "relevant titles" based on the user's query as described above can be
quickly picked from within the document and displayed.

The only solution I see is to have a doc per title and include the name,
location, bio, etc in each one. As for the author's with no published
titles, simply add their bio data to a document with no title or description
and when I do the "grouping" check to see if the title is blank, then
display "no titles found".

This could work, though I'm concerned if having all that duplicate bio data
will affect the relevancy of the results or speed/performance of solr?

Thank you.
