Years ago, when we were first working on building Solr, a coworker of mind
suggested using double bar sliders (ie: pick a range using a min and a
max) for all numeric facets and putting "sparklines" above them to give
the user a visual indication of the "spread" of documents across the
numeric spectrum.

it wsa a little more complicated then anything we needed -- and seemed
like a real pain in hte ass to implement.  i still don't know of anyone
doing anything like that, but it's definitley an interesting idea.

The hard part is really just deciding what "quantum" interval you want
to use along the xaxis to decide how to count the docs for the y axis.

I love the idea of a sparkline at range-sliders. I think if I have time, 
I might add them to the range sliders on our site. I already have all 
the data since I show the count for a range while the user is dragging 
by storing the facet counts for each interval in javascript.

Hi,
I have created in index with several fields.
If I query my index in the admin section of solr (or via http request), I
get results for my search if I specify the requested field:
Query:   note:Aspergillus  (look for "Aspergillus" in field "note")
However, if I query the same word against all fields  ("Aspergillus" or
"all:Aspergillus") , I have no match in response from Solr.

Do you have any idea of what can be wrong with my index?

Look for the  tag in your schema.xml. The field 
defined in it determines the default field which is searched when no 
explicit field is specified in your query.

Hi,

Is it possible to restrict the values returned by Facet Fields using Filter
Queries to Group on only those documents will pass the filter query passed
in filter criteria??


I am under the assumption that fq is disjoint from facet.field function. Let
me know if my assumptions are right or wrong.

Hi,

Filter queries do restrict the documents set used for faceting. In fact 
you have to explicitly turn it off if you don't want it to by using 
tagging/excluding (see 
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#LocalParams_for_faceting).
