: I'm experimenting with dismax to do faceted browsing, and when I add a : constraint with dismax on that facet, I no longer get the entire : facet-count.
that sounds expected ... when you add a constraint using "fq" (or adding new clauses to the main query) the overall result set is going to get smaller, and the counts are going ot be affected ... this is typically what people want when they do faceted searching -- as they drill down the counts should reflect their narrowed few of the world. If they didn't change, then you would have missleading info about the options available to you. if you really want "global" counts for the search, independent of the constraints applied, just do two queries, one with and one without One thing that confuses me though... : q=blah&qt=dismax&fq=type_id:1&hl=true&hl.fl=title+summary&hl.snippets=3&face : t=true&facet.limit=-1&facet.zeros=false&facet.field=type_id ... : <lst name="facet_counts"> : <lst name="facet_queries"/> : <lst name="facet_fields"> : <lst name="type_id"> : <int name="2">95</int> : </lst> : </lst> : </lst> that URL doesn't seem to jive with that response, if you've constraint to type_id:1 your type_id facet count list should contain "1" ... it might also contain "2" if type_id is a multivalue field and there are some docs that have both "1" and "2", but i can't figure out why you only have a "2" there ... does that URL really match what you are getting back from Solr, or is this a cut/paste mistake? -Hoss
