Hey Michael, I had to build faceted search earlier this year, and moved from Thinking Sphinx to Solr.
Unfortunately Sphinx can't handle string based faceting, so Thinking Sphinx doesn't. There's a database level hack (stored proc) for postgres to make it possible but I didn't think it was something to put into production for a search based application.
