Question

I have problems with faceting. Imagine this situation. Product can be in more than one category. This is common behavior for faceting:

Category

• Android (25)
• iPhone (55)
• other (25)

Now when I select “Android”, I make new query with “fq” => “category:Android”, I will get:

Category

• Android
• iPhone (15)
• other (2)

But this means that there is 15 products, that are in categories “Android” AND “iPhone”. I would like something like this: (“Android” OR “iPhone”)

Category

• Android
• iPhone (+5)
• other (+1)

Meaning I will get 25 results by selecting “Android (25)” and another 5 by selecting “iPhone (+5)”, so finally I will get 30 search results..

Does anyone know if this is possible with SOLR’s faceting? Or perhaps with more than one query and calculate it manually?

Thanks for advice!

Answer 1

Try a new query with the negative of the selections, like "fq" => "-category:Android" – you should then get the facet counts you are looking for.
