Hi Mark,
If (a) is wanted behaviour, i.e. have a business show up in facets for all
ZIPs, you should define a multi-valued ZIP field. Since a ZIP is a number, I
don't see any reason for any analysis on it, a String or a lightly normalized
field type would do the job both for search and facets.
Certainly lots of matches on Solr and facets.
Contrived example:
* Solr 1.4, etc.
* Yellow pages, business listings.
* Business listings have a zip code that I will use in Faceted search.
* Companies with multiple stores/outlets/offices still only have one record,
but all applicable zip codes are
