Just to add to this, if you want to allow the user more choice in his option to select ranges, perhaps by using a 2-sided javasacript slider for the pricerange (ala kayak.com) it may be very worthwhile to discretize the allowed values for the slider (e.g: steps of 5 dolllar) Most js-slider implementations allow for this easily.
This has the advantages of: - having far fewer possible facetqueries and thus a far greater chance of these facetqueries hitting the cache. - a better user-experience, although that's debatable. just to be clear: for this the Solr-side would still use: &facet=on&facet.query=price:[50 TO *]&facet.query=price:[* TO 100] and not the optimized pre-computed variant suggested above.
