Facet fields and facet queries do not depend on each other. Both of them depend only on the query and filter queries applied.
For example, lets say you're searching for cars with a full text query "hybrid sedan" and the UI should show counts of each manufacturer of the car e.g. Honda - 20, Chevrolet - 10 etc. You also want to show how many cars in the result are priced between 10,000 to 20,000. In this case, you would execute a solr query like: q="hybrid sedan"&facet=true&facet.field=manufacturer&facet.query:price:[10000 TO 20000] Hope that helps.
