For your very specific use case though, yeah, you can do it with facet.query. Leave out the facet.field, but instead: facet.query=keyword:man facet.query=keyword:bear facet.query=keyword:pig You'll get three facet.query results in the response, one each for man, bear, pig. Solr behind the scenes will kind of do three seperate 'sub-queries', one for each facet.query, but since the query itself should be cached, you shouldn't notice much difference. Especially if you have a warming query that facets on the keyword field (I'm never entirely sure when caches created by warming queries will be used by a facet.query, or if it depends on the facet method in use, but it can't hurt).
