Thanks it does. I'm in need of the other kind of faceting, where a facet is essentially the distinct values for a field relative to a given query. Something like Solr's Enum-Based Field Faceting[1]. Any pointers for how I could implement that inside Blur? The only thing I can come up with is outside blur and seems inefficient - essentially record distinct values for the fields of interest at ingest time; then use those values in Blur's existing facetquery to get the counts. I'm guessing there's a better approach? Thanks, --tim [1] - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrFacetingOverview
