I guess that returning the facets without the counts really weakens the
story of facets. Yes, amazon does it for some searches, but usually it
does not. For the use case I have in mind, I would like the counts.

Options 3 or 6 seem like decent avenues to explore. 1, 2, and 4 seem like
bad ideas (1 undercuts the idea that we'd use lucene/solr to get decent
performance. 2 drops the counts. 4 feels like something we would regret,
because of the complexity). I'll admit it: I didn't understand option 5.

Thanks,
Laurie
