What is the semantic of Solr search query builder configuration parameters 'type' and 'doctype'

[ruKurz]

The documentation says:

type: the type of the result
doctype: the document type of the result (e.g. text/html)

so doctype is equal to mime type, is that right?

and what is type and where are these parameters used for?

[tkurz]

both are only used for display. The doctype is meant to be something like "blogpost", "webpage", "document". The type is the mimetype.

[ruKurz]

this info should be applied to the docs.

[ruKurz]

looking at the doc, it is the other way around:

*** type: the type of the result
*** doctype: the document type of the result (e.g. text/html)

@tkurz could you please clarify? Thanks.
