Faceting on tags will give you all the related tags, including the original
tag (tagA in your case).  You will have to filter out the original tag on
the client side if you don't want to show that.  With Solar 1.4, you will be
able to use localParam to exclude the original tag in the results.  If you
tags field is analyzed, you will want to facet on a raw copy (using copy
field) of the tags.

If you want related tags that starts with ba, you can use a facet.prefix;

q=tags:tagA&facet=true&facet.mincount=1&facet.perfix=ab
