David, Richard
Not a big mystery if you have a look at the code source of the html page
... In your example the selected facet Person retrieves only a top list of
instances ... which are cached in the page as an array
<script language="Javascript"> var values = new Array("David (24)","John
(19)" ... etc
And the auto-suggest field taps in this array using javascript
new AutoSuggest("foaf-name", values);
So it does not query the data base ...
Not really a bug, not really a clean feature either :)
