Well, you can do both, of cource but there's no need for additional code if you get it for free. I'd prefer - as most i assume - to use the label as a facet field. -----Original message----- From: Frank A <fsa...@gmail.com> Sent: Tue 10-08-2010 01:11 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org; Subject: Re: Facet Fields - ID vs. Display Value
What I meant (which I realize now wasn't very clear) was if I have something like categoryID and categorylabel - is the normal practice to define categoryID as the facet field and then have the UI layer display the label? Or would it be normal to directly use categorylabel as the facet field?
