Hi Upayavira, I use the term constraint to define additional options for a user to refine search with under each facet. If we could think of them as sub facet's then maybe this would explain in slightly better terms.
I didn't add additional document source types in my original email but if I knew that there would be xls and doc contained within the Solr index then these would also be added as sub facet's allowing a user to select prior to entering a search query. Can you point me towards documentation or something similar in order to implement the above. I am aware that I have a lot more to learn on faceted search, namely how to properly implement it! Thank you Lewis ________________________________________ From: Upayavira [u...@odoko.co.uk] Sent: 15 March 2011 22:42 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Faceting help I'm not sure if I get what you are trying to achieve. What do you mean by "constraint"? Are you saying that you effectively want to filter the facets that are returned? e.g. for source field, you want to show html/pdf/email, but not, say xls or doc?
