Hi, I'm evaluating if the MoreLikeThis (mlt) feature of solr can be useful for our editors when they are creating new content. We want to trigger this before the content has been inserted in the system, so there is no document in solr that we can use as a base for the mlt search. So we want to use the "externally supplied text" feature, where we provide the article text in the request body of the search. This works great when we use the mlt request handler (/mlt). But we also would like to get facets for this search, and bug SOLR-7883 is stopping us from doing that.
Some people suggest that we use the mlt query parser instead, as part of our regular request parser (/select). But I can't get that to work together with the "externally supplied text". It gives me the error "Bad contentType for search handler :text/plain". So, does anyone know how to do a search that uses MoreLikeThis with externally supplied text, and facets at the same time? Regards
