Hello Shawn, thanks for reply. The results that come back are correct, but are
we implementing the query correctly to filter by a selected facet? When I say
wrong, it's more about the design/use of Facets in the Query. Is it proper to
do fq=Tags:Retirement? Is using a Multivalued field correct for Facets? Why do
you say the above are not Facets?
Here is an excerpt from our JSON:
"facet_counts": {
"facet_queries": {},
"facet_fields": {
"Tags": [
"Retirement",
1260,
"Locations & People",
1149,
"Advice and Tools",
1015,
"Careers",
156,
"Annuities",
101,
"Performance",

The queries you mentioned above do not have facets, only the q and fq
parameters. You also have not mentioned what in the results is wrong to you.
If you restrict the query to only a certain value in the tag field, then facets
will only count documents that match the full query -- users will not be able
to see the count of documents that do NOT match the query, unless you use
tagging/excluding with your filters. This is part of the functionality called
multi-select faceting.

Because your message doesn't say what in the results is wrong, we can only
guess about how to help you. I do not know if the above information will be
helpful or not.
Thanks,
Shawn
