Faceting is returned independently of your result set, telling you how many documents contain each facet.

You may use a field both for faceting and collapsing, but for different reasons. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com On 8. mars 2011, at 12.50, Isha Garg wrote: > Hi, > > Can anyone explain in which scenario faceting & field collapsing is used > .What is the difference between these two. > > > Best Regards! > Isha
