: be (if possible). We have some facets where the presence of some : value (in our current prototype on non-solr we use null, so we call : the setup null as match :) constitutes a hit all of the time (where : facet=x or facet=null) and on some facets constitutes a not match : (facet=x only). Can out of the box solr faceting support something : like this, or can it be done with a light massaging?
it would certainly be doable in a custom request handler ... you would want to generate a DocSet of all documents that match your sentinle value (ie: "null") and then union that with each of the DocSets from your constraints before intersecting with the DocSet from your main search to get the counts. alternately, if you know that your fields are "single value" you could probably just find the intersection of your main DocSet with the DocSet of things matching the sentinal value, and then add that number to each of your constraint intersections ... that should be the same number, correct? -Hoss
