Then you can use facet.field=surnames or facet.field=town or whatever you want with facet.limit=-1 and count the number of results for each facet. It may be slow for the first query but it is cached so subsequent queries should be faster (make sure you size filterCache appropriately). -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
