It is possible to get the original facet counts for the field you are filtering on (we have been using this since Solr 3.6). Don't know if this can be extended to get the original counts for all fields however.
This syntax is described here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Faceting Tagging and Excluding Filters You can tag specific filters and exclude those filters when faceting. This is useful when doing multi-select faceting. Consider the following example query with faceting: q=mainquery&fq=status:public&fq=doctype:pdf&facet=true&facet.field=doctype Because everything is already constrained by the filter doctype:pdf, the facet.field=doctype facet command is currently redundant and will return 0 counts for everything except doctype:pdf. To implement a multi-select facet for doctype, a GUI may want to still display the other doctype values and their associated counts, as if the doctype:pdf constraint had not yet been applied. For example: === Document Type === [ ] Word (42) [x] PDF (96) [ ] Excel(11) [ ] HTML (63) To return counts for doctype values that are currently not selected, tag filters that directly constrain doctype, and exclude those filters when faceting on doctype. q=mainquery&fq=status:public&fq={!tag=dt}doctype:pdf&facet=true&facet.field={!ex=dt}doctype Filter exclusion is supported for all types of facets. Both the tag and ex local parameters may specify multiple values by separating them with commas. - Andy - -----Original Message----- From: Robert Brown [mailto:r...@intelcompute.com] Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2016 2:12 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: [E] Re: Faceting Question(s) MaryJo, I think you've mis-understood. The counts are different simply because the 2nd query contains an filter of a facet value from the 1st query - that's completely expected. The issue is how to get the original facet counts (with no filters but same q) in the same call as also filtering by one of those facet values. Personally I don't think it's possible, but will be interested to hear others input, since it's a very common situation for me - I cache the first result in memcached and tag future queries as related to the first. Or could you always make 2 calls back to Solr (one original (again), and one with the filters), the caches should help massively.
