in general, a facet count of 0 means the term is in the index but does not match an of the docs in the result set.
if you are doing a query that matches all docs, and seeing facet values with a mincount of 0, that means the *term* is still in the index, but the documents that contained those terms have been deleted. the tems themselves will be deleted if/when the segments containing them get merged away and the deleted documents are expunged. : Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 23:24:54 +0530 : From: Abhishek Sharma <abhishe...@unbxd.com> : Reply-To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org : To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org : Subject: "facet.mincount=0" returns facet values with 0 counts for "q=*" query : : Hi, : : Can any one help me understand what does it mean to have facet results like : this - : : "values": [ : "4th of july flags", : 0, : "angela moore", : 0, : "anklets", : 0, : "applique flags", : 0, : "army national guard", : 0, : "bangles", : 0, : "beatriz ball" : ] : : for a *q=** query with : : *facet.mincount=0?* : What do the* results signify? *In what condition can we have *facet count : as 0* for *q=** query? : -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
