Hi, I have implemented a search, where all the facet's are offered as checkbox style filters along with a fulltext search to first narrow down the result set. For this I have implemented the search to run the fulltext search with the facets. If additional checkbox filters have been deselected, then I run a secondary query where I leave the faceting out to get the actual results (and setting rows=0 in the facet query). I just stumbled over an entry in the wiki [1], which seems to look like I do not really need that secondary query if filters are selected.
But this is not the main topic of my question. Now I also want to offer a slider to define the range to include in the result set. However here I do not want to do faceting, instead I just want to find out the min and max date values in the result (without any of the facet filters applies) so I know the start and end points for the slider. The user can then move the sliders to further filter the result set. How can I best go about fetching just those min and max values, ideally without having to add a separate query just for this? regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith m...@pooteeweet.org [1] http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#Tagging_and_excluding_Filters
