Let's say after query i get a bunch of documents (web pages) but some  
of them having same excerpts and score within same domain and i need  
to filter them out living only the first of such occurences, how do i  
accomplish that?

can i scan through list of result and do something like this?

var previous\_domain  
var previous\_score

func filterspam(currentdoc) {  
if currentdoc.domain == previous\_domain && currentdoc.score ==  
previous\_score {  
skipdoc(currentdoc)  
return  
}  
previous\_domain = currentdoc.domain  
previous\_score = currentdoc.score  
return  
}
