I need to understand this then. Thanks. I want to use Solr for our newspaper
website and this would be a great way to break out content. Kind of greys
the lines between what is search and what is browsing categories, which is a
great thing actually. Thanks for the help.

Faceted browsing is like this:  http://shopper.cnet.com/ and http://
www.nines.org/collex

In Collex, the "constrain further" box are the facets.  Clicking on
them adds them to "your constraints".  The idea is to divide the
documents in the index into distinct buckets (or sets) and show the
counts of how many results are in each set.
