Multi-select on more than one facet field

[Nasseam Elkarra <na...@bodukai.com>]

Looking at the example here:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#head-4ba81c89b265c3b5992e3292718a0d100f7251ef

This being the query for selecting PDF:
q=mainquery&fq=status:public&fq={! 
tag=dt}doctype:pdf&facet=on&facet.field={!ex=dt}doctype

How would you do the query for selecting PDF OR Excel AND, assuming  
there is another facet field named author, where author is Mike?

Thank you,
Nasseam

If author is not a multi-select facet (i.e. you already selected
author:Mike and hence wish to no longer get other counts for the
author field) then:

q=mainquery
&fq=status:public
&fq={!tag=dt}doctype:(PDF OR Excel)
&fq=author:Mike
&facet=on&facet.field={!ex=dt}doctype

If author *is* multi-select, then you wish to get facet counts for the
author field, ignoring the author:Mike restriction for the author
facet only:

q=mainquery
&fq=status:public
&fq={!tag=dt}doctype:(PDF OR Excel)
&fq={!tag=auth}author:Mike
&facet=on&facet.field={!ex=dt}doctype
&facet.field={!ex=auth}author
