Erik, thanks for the reply.
Creating ranges and doing stuff like your example is pretty much what I need
and its an awesome feature. But I thought Solr would actually return a
formatted string like "1980 - 1989 (count)" or "1980 TO 1980 (count)", as
based on your example (.. &fq=year:[1980 TO 1989]&fq=year:[1990 TO 1999]...
).
How would you display those formatted strings without having to "hard code"
them on a page? Because that's what I'm doing after I process the xml
(getting just the count of each faceted query string, putting them into an
array and doing like "1980 - 1989 ("+array[0]+")", "1980 - 1989
("+array[1]+")" and so forth) and I don't think its the best way.
Thanks.

Well, I think I figured it out. It can be used to display count results
of different facet queries.
But is it all that it does?
Yes. This allows for dynamic "facets" based on run-time queries rather
than an upfront indexed (and often untokenized) field. Suppose you index
years, but want to display facets based on ranges such as decades...
&fq=year:[1980 TO 1989]&fq=year:[1990 TO 1999]... and you'd get decade
facet counts.
Pretty cool stuff, actually.
What are your faceting needs? What differential do you have with what
Solr provides?

Hi all,
I'm working with faceted search but I can't seem to get the
'facet.query' option. I already read the wiki but still don't understand
exactly what it does. Could someone please explain me:
- What does it do and how to use it
- Why should I use it?
- Why shouldn't I use it?
Thanks a lot.
Peter
