According to the docs there are 2 algorithms that do this - one enumerates all the unique values of the facet field and does an intersetion with the query, and the other scans the result set and sums up the unique values in the facet field for each doc. I would start by looking at the source for the FacetComponent (org.apache.solr.handler.component) and SimpleFacets (org.apache.solr.request) classes. Sorry I can't be of more help - it seems like an interesting challenge! Onward... -Ken
