The in-Koha faceting is, indeed, dreadful. Zebra can generate facets for CHR indexes, which leaves us with a problem for ICU. However, I think there may be a workaround: using key (i.e. untranslated) indexes for facet building. I started to fiddle with this last week but did not get very far yet. Better faceting is one of my goals for the Search rewrite ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/C_&_P_Search_Rewrite_RFC). QueryParser has a special facet syntax which I look forward to using (eventually) to allow us to add and remove facets from searches.
