facets - id and display value

Hi, Is it possible to associate properties to a facet? For example, facet on categoryId (1, 2, 3 etc. ) and get properties display name, image, etc? Thanks, Satish

Faceting harvests the fields that are already indexed (so you have to both store and index the fields) and uses Java object refs (pointers), without copying the facet values. You know how log files have multi-line exception stacks & the like? The multi-line exception stacks after the real log line
