Two options come to mind -
* index a field for just the month names
* leverage facet.query…
&facet.query={!key=Jan}cdate:[2003-01-01 TO 2003-01-31] OR
cdate:[2004-01-01 TO 2004-01-31]….
I don’t know a way to select just “January’s” from a date field any more
elegantly than that.
I’d really go with indexing the month names (in addition to the full date too).
