I don't have the answer to this one other than the "process it yourself in your app". But should anyone decide to work on this, I have another similar suggestion/request: return N *unique* values from a multivalued field sorted by their count.
The use case for this is a tagging system like simpy.com where multiple people can tag an entity with the same tags, and while you would want to store/index multiple copies for TF purposes, you really don't want to display multiple copies of the same tag. Simpy currently does this manually, for example that happens here: http://www.simpy.com/links/search/solr ... and I'm not convinced this belongs to Solr.

I wanted to know if its possible to restrict the number of multiple values being returned from that field, on a search? And how? Because, lets say, if I have thousands of values in that multivalued field, returning all of them would be a lot of load on the system. So, I want to restrict it to send me only say, 50 values out of the thousands. Regards, Rishabh
