How to define field type

[Torlaf15 <fe...@hotmail.de>]

Hello,

I hope someone can help me.

I have several documents with the fields content, author, ... indexed.
Now I would like to make a faceted search.

The exact problem is with me following:
As a result (SolrResponse) for query I get: ........facet_fields= {author =
{first name=1, surname = 1}}.....

As a result I would like to get the whole authors' names .
Like this:.....facet_fields={author={firstname surname=1}}............  

I tried to change the type of field author to string. But then it is no
longer possible to search the content of this field.

I hope someone give me some advice.

Many thanks for your time
Toralf

Typically this is handle by defining
 a second field of type string and use
copyField to copy from author to this
new field, say, author_facet.

Then do your facets on author_facet
but do searches on author.


Best
