Hi. I am trying to filter using multiple values in the tagcloud from the demo site. I am trying to figure out how to implement an OR operation among them. For example, i have a keyword tag cloud with many keywords say china, india, war, nuclear, politics, government. When i try to filter by multiple selections like China and India. I want the docs to display having either china or india. basically i want it to happen like CHINA or INDIA, and not CHINA and INDIA. Please help me on this.

Hello,

I have a similar question.

How can one filter based on multiple values? For example if there's a list of folders, I need to display results that match Folder1 OR Folder2 OR Folder3, etc.

Thus, I have a list of folders in 'list_of_folders' = ['Folder1', 'Folder2', 'Folder3'].

And trying to work with a code similar to:

Manager.store.addByValue('fq', 'folders:[list_of_folders]');

Thanks

Hi,

I actually developed some extensions to Ajax-Solr that would seem to do what you want. I just released it on Github here:

https://github.com/buddyroo30/Ajax-Solr-Extensions

In particular, I developed a new widget called MultiSelectWidget, which allows OR queries (in addition it replaces tag clouds with sorted checkboxes like you see on e-commerce sites like Amazon, Walmart, etc., as well as some other features). I also added a range query widget, and an update to ResultWidget to display highlighting snippets. Hope you find it useful.
