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.
