Hi, we are using faceted search for our queries. However neither sorting by count nor sorting by index as described in [1] is suitable for our business case. Instead, we would like to have the facets (or at least the beginning of them) sorted by the score of the top document possessing the corresponding facet. The expected behaviour can be compared to what the result grouping feature does (see [2]).
I am currently thinking about the following strategy: (1) Create a new search component (2) Perform a sub-query using grouping (3) Use the result of this sub-query in order to sort the facets of the actual query. Currently step no. 2 seems to be pretty difficult. Can anybody point a me to an example, where a sub-query is performed in order to retrieve the groups? Or does anybody have a better/easier strategy for achieving this? Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
