Hi Sebastjan,

Thanks! To run down the list:

- *Faceting:* Faceting is not supported at this time.

- *Float Fields / Date Fields: *Riak Search treats all fields as text
(comparisons happen lexicographically), so you would need to encode and/or
pad Date and Float fields. ie: Transform a float of 79.99 (for example) into
"0000000079.99". Transform dates into "YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS" in GMT, etc.

- *Multi-Value Fields: *Multi-valued fields are supported, but are merged
together when outputting in Solr. This may or may not be what your
application expects.

- *Sorting: *Unfortunately, there is currently an open issue that
effectively breaks sorting: https://issues.basho.com/show_bug.cgi?id=867.
Depending on the size of your expected result sets, you may be able to get
by sorting the results in your application rather than in Search.

- *Fast Updates: *Fast updates are absolutely supported! Riak Search was
designed for real-time indexing from the ground up. (ie: No lag between
indexing a document and being able to search on it.)

- *Stemming: *Stemming/unstemming is not supported out of the box. You
could, however, write a custom analyzer to do this or leverage an existing
Lucene analyzer.

Best,
Rusty
