Re: multi level faceting

2010-10-09 Thread Peter Karich
Hi,

there are two relative similar solutions for this problem.

I will describe one of them:
 * create a multivalued string field called 'category'
 * you have a category tree. so make sure a document gets not only the
leaf category, but all categories (name or id) until the root
 * now facet over category with '-1' as limit
 * What if you want to display only the categories of one level? (e.g.
if you don't want other level at a time or if they are too much).
   then use index the category field ala level_category and use
facet.prefix to filter the category list
 * clicking on a category entry should result in a filter query ala
fq=category:selectedCategoryWithLevel
   the little tricky part is now that your UI or middle tier has to
parse the level e.g. 2 and the append 2+1=3 to the query: facet.prefix=3_
 * if you filter the level then one question remains:
Q: how can you display the path from the selected category until the
root category?
A: Either get the category parents via DB (which is easy if you
store the category ids in solr) or
get the parents from the parameter list which is a bit more
complicated (in this case I think it is best to  store the category
names in solr).

(The second approach is: instead of using facet.prefix you can use
dynamic fields ala category_level_s)

Did this explaination is missing sth. or unclear?

Kind Regards,
Peter.

 Hi,

 there is a solution without the patch. Here it should be explained:
 http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2010/08/11/stumped-with-solr-chris-hostetter-of-lucene-pmc-at-lucene-revolution/

 If not, I will do on 9.10.2010 ;-)

 Regards,
 Peter.

   
 I've a similar problem with a project I'm working on now.  I am holding out 
 for either SOLR-64 or SOLR-792 being a bit more mature before I need the 
 functionality but if not I was thinking I could do multi-level faceting by 
 indexing the data as a String like this:

 id: 1
 SHOE: Sneakers|Men|Size 7

 id: 2
 SHOE: Sneakers|Men|Size 8

 id: 3
 SHOE: Sneakers|Women|Size 6

 etc

 and then in the UI, show just up to the first delimiter (you'll have to sum 
 the counts in the UI too).  Once the user clicks on Sneakers, you would 
 then add fq=SHOE:Sneakers|* to the query and then show the values up to the 
 2nd delimiter, etc.  

 Alternatively, if you didn't want to use a wildcard query, you could index 
 each level separately like this:

 id: 1
 SHOE1: Sneakers
 SHOE2: Sneakers|Men
 SHOE3: Sneakers|Men|Size 7

 Then after the user clicks on the 1st level, fq on SHOE1 and show SHOE2, 
 etc.  This wouldn't work so well if you had more than a few levels in your 
 hierarchy.

 I haven't actually tried this and like I said I'm hoping I could just use a 
 patch (really I hope 3.x gets released GA with the functionality but I won't 
 hold my breath...)  But I do think this would work in a pinch if need be.

 I *think* this is not what Vincent was after.  If I read the suggestions

 correctly, you are saying to use fq=xfq=y -- multiple fqs.
 But I think Vincent is wondering how to end up with something that will

Yes, by adding fq back into the main query you will get results increasingly 
filtered each time.

You may run into an issue if you are displaying facet counts, as the facet part 
of the query will also obey the increasingly filtered fq, and so not display 
counts for other categories anymore from the chosen facet (depends if you need 
to display counts from a facet once the first value from the facet has been 
chosen if you get my drift). Local params are a way to deal with this by not 
subjecting the facet count to the same fq restriction (but allowing the search 
results to obey it).

I think that is just sending 2 fq facet queries through. In Solr PHP I
would do that with, e.g.

$params['facet'] = true;
$params['facet.fields'] = array('Size');
$params['fq'] = array('sex' = array('Men', 'Women'));

but yes i think you'd have to send through what the current facet query
is and add it to your next drill-down

 Hi,
 
 
 
 I was wondering if there's a way to display facet options based on
 previous facet values.  For example, I've seen many shopping sites
where
 a user can facet by Mens or Womens apparel, then be shown sizes
to
 facet by (for Men or Women only - whichever they chose).  
 
 
 
 Is this something that would have to be handled at the application
 level?

Hi,

I *think* this is not what Vincent was after.  If I read the suggestions 
correctly, you are saying to use fq=xfq=y -- multiple fqs.
But I think Vincent is wondering how to end up with something that will let him 
create a UI with multi-level facets (with a single request), e.g.

Footwear (100)
  Sneakers (20)
Men (1)
Women (19)

  Dancing shoes (10)
Men (0)
Women (10)
...

If this is what Vincent was after, I'd love to hear suggestions myself. :)
