Someone else suggested this query: q=id:[10000001 OR 10000002], where the numbers represent multiple IDs, but if I get it, you're saying that these ultimate get turned into just one document and we get similar documents to just that one.
MoreLikeThese sounds promising. Is this in one of the development builds, or is it just and addon I need to install? I haven't done much customization of Solr yet. Thanks!

Jay Luker has written MoreLikeThese which is probably what you want. You may give it a try, though I am not sure if it works with Solr4.0 at this point (we didn't port it yet) https://github.com/romanchyla/montysolr/blob/MLT/contrib/adsabs/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/MoreLikeTheseHandler.java roman On Wed, Dec 26, 2012 at 12:06 AM, Jack Krupansky <j...@basetechnology.com>wrote: > MLT has both a request handler and a search component. > > The MLT handler returns similar documents only for the first document > that the query matches. > > The MLT search component returns similar documents for each of the > documents in the search results, but processes each search result base > document one at a time and keeps its similar documents segregated by > each of the base documents. > > It sounds like you wanted to merge the base search results and then > find documents similar to that merged super-document.
