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.
This is a UI mapping issue that doesn't quite fit as Solr's responsibility. I'm not sure what you mean by hard-coding them on a page though. You could have a configuration that specified the facet.query parameters that get sent, and that same configuration would be used in making the facet.query parameters as well as driving the display (mapping, perhaps).
If you have some thoughts on Solr providing more assistance here, please share.
I envision Flare providing a lot of this sort of UI goodness.

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?ErikPeterFrom: "Peter McPeterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: facet.query question Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2007 15:10:34 -0800 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.
