You can have a field that is multiValued. It still needs a base type, like
"string" or "int". For instance, in my book database, I have a field called
"classifications" and it is multivalued.
<field name="classifications" type="string" multiValued="true"
/>
A classification of 1 means "spiralbound", and 2 means "large print" and 3
means "multilingual" and so on. So if my user wants to search for a
multilingual book, I search for "classifications:3". If you want spiralbound
large print, you'd search for "classifications:1 classifications:2".
