I believe unifying multiple query results including facets, paging, sorts and other extra features on my own in the application is complex as well. Is there some Solr code I can use in the application level to unify multiple results? (this can be actually an interesting direction) The queries were of course just an example. In real life I have 4 cores with very complex queries for each so unifying all 4 may cause a significant overhead on the system, especially if there are tens of such queries per second. Thanks, Avner

Personally I'd treat them as two different collections and have the app layer fire off two queries and do the aggregation (this is a variant of "federated search" I think). This removes your issue with having the cores "do extra work".... Additionally, I'd really prove out that the "extra work" is actually a measurable performance issue before worrying about this, it smells like premature optimization.
