OK.  Then the JSON returned would contain a lot of documents that are
really sections. This would work fine for the use-case I mentioned but I
also use the index for full-text search of the whole document.  Therefore,
I would need to parse the result JSON in a way that combines the solr docs
returned in to one virtual doc based on source document ID.

Is that correct?
