I don't think you have to give the user a label other than the name of
the facet field. The beauty of facets is that they are pretty
intuitive.
Manufacturer
Microsoft (140)
Logitech Inc. (128)
Belkin (127)
Rosewill (124)
APEVIA (Aspire) (119)
STARTECH (97)
That said, I've seen them called:
Parametric Tag Names
Facet (200)
Parameter (122)
Tag (100)
Advanced Selection (20)
Select (15)
Navigate (13)
Filter (2)
Bucket (1)
Enumeration (1)
Category (1)
Topic (1)

Isn't that GROUP BY ColumnX, count(1) type of thing?
I'd think "group by" would be a good label.

In SQL terms they are: 'select unique'. Except on only one field.

FAST calls them "navigators" (which I think is a terrible term - YMMV
of course :-))
I tend to think that "filters" -- or perhaps "dynamic filters" --
captures the essential function.

Hi,
So, has anyone got a good example of the language they might use
over, say, a set of radio buttons and fields on a web form, to
indicate that selecting one or more of these would return facets.
'Show grouping by'
or 'List the sets that the results fall into' or something similar.
Here's what i found some time :

It has been quite useful to me.
