Not quite understand but I'd explain the problem I had. The response would contain only fields and a list of field values that match the query. Essentially it's querying for field values rather than documents. The underlying use case would be, when typing in a quick search box, the drill down menu may contain matches on authors, on doctitles, and potentially on other fields.
Still thanks for your response and hopefully I'm making it clearer. Bing -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Does-Solr-support-Value-Search-tp3999654p3999927.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
