Martin -
Thanks for the reply. I understand your answer about the segments.
However, I'm still cloudy about faceting with respect to the group head.
Perhaps an example will clarify my confusion. Suppose I have 3 order
documents with the following data:
*orderNumber: 1
customerNumber: 1
totalInCents: 1500
productType: 'BOOK'
orderNumber: 2
customerNumber: 1
totalInCents: 500
productType: 'BOOK'
orderNumber: 3
customerNumber: 1
totalInCents: 1000
productType: 'DVD'
*
* *Imagine I perform a search for items greater than or equal to 1000
cents grouped by customer number. I would expect to get order numbers 1 and
3 back grouped underneath customer id. Lets assume that order number 1 is
considered the most relevant document (in your scenario). Will the post
group faceting miss that I actually have two facet values for productType:
BOOK and DVD?
Thanks!
Josh
