Hi Sachit! I've had the same problem with a search for whine. The origin of whine can consist of up to three hierarchical values country (e.g. "France"), region (e.g. "Bordeaux") and sub-region (e.g. "St. Emilion"). I have three facet fields country, region, sub-region for that. But I only display the "region" facet under the following conditions: - the user has selected a specific country, e.g. France, as filter - or only one country is left (due to other filtering or fulltext search) Don't know if this suits you. Just the way I handle it. It's not yet publicly available though. Marian
