Re: How many facet values are too many?

Yes, the limit parameter is closest in concept to the LIMIT clause in SQL. It defaults to 100 so you'll see no more than that many facet values. There's also minCount which will establish a threshold if you don't want to see counts less than this number. It's common to set it to "1" so you do

Re: How many facet values are too many?

Are you referring to the facet.limit parameter? If it is set to N, does that mean Solr only has to process N values, or that Solr will still process all the values but only return the top N ones? --- On Fri, 3/19/10, Smiley, David W. wrote: From: Smiley, David W. Subject: Re: How many facet

Re: Issue with exact matching

Thanks so much. That works really well now. So this brings up a complaint I have with the Solr documentation. I see very few actual examples. If I had seen any example of searching for a multi-word search, I assume it would have had these parentheses. -Alex On 3/18/2010 5:54 PM, Erick

Multi Select Facets through Java API

I have a facet field called Cars. I want the user to be able to select multiple values (Camaro, Corvette, etc) and the results should include all records with Cars = Camaro OR Cars = Corvette. Are there samples somewhere on how to do this with the Java API? Does anything special need to be set
