Hi,
 
From a functional point of view we've defined a two of features, for
which I'm wondering how to implement them (we're considering defining
extensions and/or working towards extension of the standard, but would
obviously prefer using real standard approaches). Both have to do with
creating a navigator style GUI (like http://aqua.queenslibrary.org/) on
top of a sru interface.

- The scan operation allows for (a.o.) hit-count information, but only
for a term in a specific index. How could we retrieve the hitcount for a
particular search string for *multiple* index fields separately?

- Drill-down enabling information: information on hit counts for
refining for (possibly) indicated indexes.
In other words, functionally speaking, I'm looking for the refinement
options when searching for title 'rabbit', for the index 'author' and a
maximum records it would tell me 'Potter, Beatrix' (105 results),
'Wells, Rosemary' (63 results), 'Carroll, Lewis' (41 results), and 954
more refinements.

Actually, re-reading them, both have to do with the scan operator, and
both involve a decoupling between the searching and the result list for
the scan operator.

Your thoughts, please?

Thanks,

Erwin
