Hello, Is it possible to order the facet results on some ranking score? I've had a look at the facet.sort param, (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#head-569f93fb24ec41b061e37c702203c99d8853d5f1) but that seems to order the facet either by count or by index value (in my case alphabetical.)
We are facing a big number of facet results for multiple termed queries that are OR'ed together. We want to keep the OR nature of our queries, but, we want to know which facet values are likely to give you higher ranked results. We could AND together the terms, to get the facet list to be more manageable, but we would be filtering out too many results. We prefer to OR terms and let the ranking bring the good stuff to the top. For example, suppose we have a index of all known animals and each doc has a field AO for animal-origin. Suppose we search for: wolf grey forest Europe And generate facets AO. We might get the following facet results: For the AO field, lots of countries of the world probably have grey or forest or wolf or Europe in their indexing data, so I'm asserting we'd get a big list here. But, only some of the countries will have all 4 terms, and those are the facets that will be the most interesting to drill down on. Is there a way to figure out which facet is the most highly ranked like this? This is a contrived example, not part of any real project I know about. Just trying to get my point across. thanks Gene Gene Campbell Picante Solutions Limited
