Last I heard/saw, VuFind only provided Summon results in a seperate tab,
it didn't try to merge Summon results into the result set with local
Solr results.
Has this changed?
Blacklight has nothing related to this, out of the box.
I am still very interested in people's actual real world experience with
merging relevance ranked result sets from two different systems
together. And encourage anyone that's done that succesfully to write it
up somewhere, blog, code4lib journal, anywhere. Dave, is that what
you're doing?
My worry is that it'll end up with all the terribleness of our existing
federated broadcast search solutions (such as Metalib), since that's
essentially what it is.
