Hi Alex, Yes this makes sense. My Java is a bit dusty, but depending on how much in need we will become at this feature, it's definitely something we will look into creating, and if successful, we will definitely be submitting a patch. Thank you for your time and detailed answer!

You can see the full implementation at: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/trunk/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component/FacetComponent.java#L818 If you are comfortable with Java code, the easiest thing might be to copy/fix the component and use your own one for faceting. The components are defined in solrconfig.xml and FacetComponent is in a default chain. See: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/trunk/solr/example/solr/collection1/conf/solrconfig.xml#L1194 If you do manage to do this (I would recommend doing it as an extra option), it would be nice to have it contributed back to Solr. I think you are not the only one with this requirement. Regards, Alex.
