Is it possible to search a catalog on a field index for either a given prefix, or any of a list of values?
Maybe I'm going about this wrong; I want to add the ability to only show objects found below a specific place on my site, and to do that I created a field index on the path to each object. Then at query time I would like to search for /foo/bar/*, or failing that create a list of all paths below /foo/bar and create an OR query.
The solution I'm using now is to post-process the search results, but that seems lame :)
Yes, it is lame. And no, it's not possible with a FieldIndex. ;-) There's a proposal floating around verbally at DC to create a "PathIndex" that has this behavior. I think Tres actually sent me some code for it at some point. You want that I should look it up and send it to you? - C
