In the past, we have investigated a UI design for doing what you want.
The facet starts out looking like this
A (47)
B (28)
C (17)
D (18)
Then when you select A, it becomes something like this
A (47) checked
B (10)
D (7)
B (28)
C (17)
D (18)
I wonder if this is intuitive enough. What do you think we should name
this kind of facet?
