Re: Faceted Browsing questions

Erik, Oh good! Keep me (us) updated!! As for committing some code into Solr, and the real world uses, I am sure we can find some generic/abstract rules for faceted browsing -- simplest being, a set of fields/categories defined in schema.xml, which could be used for an optional extented query res

Re: Faceted Browsing questions

Thank you Chris and Erik. That makes it a bit clearer, but I might need to sit down and look at the code (nines + DisMax...) a bit closer to see how it all works in Solr. Erik, when do you plan on having your implementation refactored with "good" use of code? Or, in general, when is Solr planning

Re: Faceted Browsing questions

I'm extremely time constrained at the moment, but I'll reply briefly. Solr provides the ground work for making faceted features possible, but out of the box it does not provide it without coding a custom request handler and knowing a little about Lucene and Solr's APIs. As you've seen, bi

My (our) query plugin uses specialized SolrCache's in lieu of the meta data records. For each new searcher installed each fields possible values will be determined and stored in a cache (off the top of my head, some fields have a cardinality of well over 500k). Each time a query is run that r

Re: faceted browsing

Yonik, Thanks for the recommendations. It's reassuring to know I was on the right track in realizing that a custom SolrRequestHandler was needed to accomplish this. Now I need to investigate the flexibility of the solrconfig.xml - can custom parameters be set there, such that a custom So

Re: faceted browsing

Solr has a lot of support to do faceted browsing, but one must currently write a custom query handler to implement the faceting logic. The support includes: - custom query handlers: - the ability to return more data than just a list of documents - a filter cache with autowarming, for fast ac
