Ah.  You are right.  I should simply have deleted collection / start a new index.  So many details to remember, but I am getting there.

Thanks.

Steve:

Did this work in the past but just stopped? If so, did you change your schema at all?

If you changed your schema at all, you probably have to reindex from scratch. However, you _must_ be absolutely sure you've removed all traces of your old index, I usually just create a new colletion to test.

Finally you say "it's potentially multivalued". So you have to specify the field multiple times, as:
<field name="ani">6157731300</field>
<field name="ani">6157731301</field>

NOT
<field name="ani">6157731300 6157731301</field>

Best,
Erick
