Hi Adrian,

Why would you need to do so? If it's a summary field you'll lkely use a "Contains", in which case you don't need an Array of strings.

So, grouping/merging into a single field that shares the same boost and properties (Analyzed, Stored, Indexed) will definately help.

Hi Nuno,

You are right about the expression. But the Facet will need to display the individual values that are separated with a comma in some situations.

For example, in one of these fields, I would have "Value1,Value2" for Product 1 and "Value1" for Product2 . If the field is a plain String, the Facet option will display "Value1,Value2" as a single option and "Value1" as another single option. And I need to have 2 distinct options: "Value1" and "Value2".

Maybe I am thinking it wrong and there might be another approach to this.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Then you "don't want" a Summary field. In these cases I recommend you use an IndexBuilderExtender to create the arrays you want/need

Hi Nuno,

That's also my conclusion so far.

It does not look like I have any built-in options yet.

Thank you,

Adrian
