: Thank you for the reply. The facet range gap loks good but it is too far down : the line to be of use, I wish it was implemented though. : : What I want is really a more simple question : : http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#facet.range : : Is it correct that to add facets on date and distance i should be looking at : "facet range"?
range faceting is appropriate when you want Solr to determine a set of N non-overlapping ranges of fixed size based on some lower & upper bounds you privde (ie: "counts per day every day for the past month" or "price ranges of $50 each from $0-$1000" If you have a specific, finite, set of ranges you want to facet on -- regardless of wether they overlap -- then you can use facet.query... ?q=... &facet=true &facet.query={!key=today}date_field:[NOW/DAY TO NOW/DAY+1DAY] &facet.query={!key=yesterday}date_field:[NOW-1DAY/DAY TO NOW/DAY] &facet.query={!key=so_far_this_month}date_field:[NOW/MONTH TO NOW/DAY+1DAY] &etc... -Hoss
