Hi Chris
You should be able to get the count first by the following code:
@facets = Model.facets
That will return a Hash-like object (well, a subclass of Hash), which
will look something like:
{:s_service_address => {"Value A" => 3, "Value B" => 4, "Value C"
=> 1}}
These results can be used in your views to provide a summary of the
breakdown of search results. You can then drill down on those results
as follows:
@facets.for(:s_service_address => "Value B")
I'm not quite sure if this is what you're after, going by your
description, but hopefully it's helpful nonetheless.
Cheers
