: It sure could, but I was just trying to stretch my imagination as far : as possible. filter.term also seems to me like only a marginal : improvement over lucene syntax.
the only reason i suggested filter.term at all was because it eliminates hte need to worry baout quoting/escaping when dealing with simple term based facets ... right now you have to put the facet term in quotes (inlcuding posisble quote escaping) ... if we add a filter.term param you can write client code that is blindly ignorant of what facet constraint is being filtered on. -Hoss
