Setting up facets in SOLR

Question

I am using solr and I want to setup two different types of facets on my data. The first is date, so I would like it like this:

Posted: Today 3 days 7 days All time

Distance: 5 miles 10 miles 30 miles 100 miles

How should I be setting up faceting? It looks like something I need to edit my solr.xml or my schema.xml but it is all very confusing and the help documents boggle my mind.

Can someone who has done this before give me a bit of guidance please?

Answer 1

facet.query: This parameter can be specified multiple times to indicate that multiple queries should be used as separate facet constraints. So you can do distance:[* TO 5], distance:[5 TO 10] and you will get the individual counts.

Then there is facet.date and facet.range which may better suit you.
