*1)* With faceting, how does facet.query perform in comparison to facet.field? I'm just wondering this as in my use case, I need to facet over a field -- which would get me the top n facets for that field, but I also need to show the count for a "selected filter" which might have a relatively low count so it doesn't appear in the top n returned facets. So the solution would be to 'ensure' its presence by adding a 'facet.query=cat:val' in addition to my facet.field=cat.
I want to do this to quite a few fields. Related/example-based question: When I facet over a field, and something gets returned, eg: John Smith (83), and I also 'ensure' this facet's presence by having it in facet.query=author:"John Smith", are two different calculations performed? Or is the facet returned by facet.field also used by facet.query to obtain the count? *2) *Is there a performance issue if I have around, say, 20 facet.query conditions along with 10 facet.fields? 3/10 of those fields have around 100,000 possible values. Remaining have a few hundred each. *3)* I've rummaged around a bit, looking for info on when to use q vs fq. I want to clear my doubts for a certain use case. Where should my date range queries go? In q or fq? The default settings in my site show results from the past 90 days with buttons to show stuff from the last month and week as well. But the user is allowed to use a slider to apply any date range... this is allowed, but it's not /that/ common. I definitely use fq for filtering various tags. Choosing a tag is a common activity. Should the date range query go in fq? As I mentioned, the default view shows stuff from the past 90 days. So on each new day does this like invalidate stuff in the cache? Or is stuff stored in the filtered cache in some way that makes it easy to fetch stuff from the past 89 days when a query is performed the next day? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/A-few-random-questions-about-solr-queries-tp3986562.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
