For simple String/Text faceting, which Markus seems to be using, the number of repetitions of a term in a document does not matter: Each term only counts at most once per document. If there are any common case deviations from this, the preface to the faceting documentation should be updated: "...along with numerical counts of how many matching documents were found were each term". https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Faceting - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark
