As I understand, after passing facets to Solr, one must
manually add facet results to search to narrow the search.
ex. i search for "foo bar" and click some facet. must i now
search for 'foo bar facet:value' ? Must I include + signs?
I'm using solrphpclient, maybe there's an API (PHP) that can parse
all this?
What you're after in narrowing results by facet constraints is the
"fq" parameter:
<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/
CommonQueryParameters#head-6522ef80f22d0e50d2f12ec487758577506d6002>
Another question is facet hierarchies, what's the easiest way
to throw away facets when one is parent of other.
ex. it makes no sense to display 'country' facet when a
'city' facet has been clicked. Storing all facets hardcoded is not
possible,
they may change. How is this usually done? Again, any API that can
do this?
They may change? If that is the case they you'd reindex the
documents that changed to keep them in sync.
As for whether to display a facet or not based on other facets being
selected, this seems more like a Solr client / UI issue in showing
the right thing in the right context.
