You mean you don't understand the difference. Here is an example of each: 1) field collapsing: http://www.google.com/search?q=lucene+in+action
Note how Google figures out that the first 2 hits are from the same site (manning.com) and after showing those 2 hits offer "More results from www.manning.com ยป" That's field collapsing in action. If it didn't collapse hits, it might have to show many more hits from manning.com in a row on that results page, and that would translate to a bad user experience (users want diversity, too, not just pure relevance) 2) facets: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=morricone Note how the results are broken down by category on the left side of the page. Besides names of all categories that the results appear in, facets also show the number of items in each category. This helps with browsing/navigation.
