OK, I'm not understanding here. You get the counts and the results if you facet
on a single category field. The facet counts are the counts of the
*values* in that
field. So it would help me if you showed the output of faceting on a single
category field and why that didn't work for you....
But either way, faceting will probably outperform grouping.
