: For example I get total 18 documents for my query, and the facet count for : date 2009-10-23T18:30:01Z is 11; whereas there are only 5 documents : containing this field value. I have verified this in result. Also when I : query for daysForFilter:2009-10-23T18:30:01Z, it gives me 5 results. I think you are missunderstanding what date faceting does. you have a facet.date.gap of +1DAY, which means the facet count is anything between 2009-10-23T18:30:01Z and 2009-10-24T18:30:01Z inclusively. you can verify this using a range query (not a term query) ... daysForFilter:[2009-10-23T18:30:01Z TO 2009-10-23T18:30:01Z+1DAY] if you only want to facet on a unique moment in time (not a range) then you cna use facet.query ... or you can set the facet gap smaller. you should also take a look at facet.date.hardend... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#facet.date.hardend -Hoss
