Searching across all collections simultaneously in banana 1.5

I have a Solr environment that creates collections per day (with multiple shards). How can I search across all of these simultaneously rather than picking one collection at a time.

Doug,

You can use collection aliases in Solr to achieve this, without making any changes to the front-end UI.

Please see:

Cool, that worked. Need some automated feature to discover new collections and append them to existing ones. Having a collection management (build aliases, etc...) would be a nice panel to add for overall dashboard creation/management.

Can these aliases be discovered and added to the collections picker?

Is it possible to have an alias for collections of different structure? So we could use multiple different collections on the same dashboard.. thanks!
