Investigate blacklight range plugin for solr_year_i

[drh-stanford]

We'd like multivalued attribute using strings rather than integer. Is this possible?

That field uses a tint (solr.TrieIntField) like so:

<field name="pub_year_tisim" type="tint" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true" />

we'd need to add that to our schema.xml for an _im(?) suffix. We're already using a solr.TrieIntField field for our _i suffix.

Yeah i think _im indexed/mulitvalued is what gives us what we want.
