Yes, faceting I agree.
I guess I was more interested in the tagging part more than anything. I was
thinking that Collex was using tagging from Flare and I wanted to see how it
was being done or use it. I'm about to try implementing tagging with my
non-Ruby (.NET) application that uses Solr.

I haven't looked at Solr Flare at all.. but was wondering if it is
possible to use some of the work done in solr flare with non-Ruby
applications? For example, could the tagging and faceting be extracted
more so it's not Ruby specific and handled in the solr java request
handler?
Well, at this point there is no tagging in Flare, so we can address that
when the time comes - certainly it will leverage Solr for the heavy
lifting. As for faceting, I'm not sure what you mean... Solr supports
faceting just fine, and Flare displays paints a pretty picture around it.
Can you propose a more concrete example of where you think something
Flare does should be pushed back into Solr? I'm all for that, and in
fact we will certainly see both Solr and Flare evolve to work more
cooperatively.
