Facet Browsing
Does anyone have any sample code (php, perl, etc) how to setup facet
browsing with paging? I can't seem to get things like facet.mincount
to work. Thank you.

"trunk" is a reference to the source code control system, subversion.
The trunk has the latest source files, and hence represents the latest
(potentially unstable) development version.
See the second link on the wiki
"Download newest Solr nightly build"

At the moment your best bet will be Solr's excellent wiki on faceted
browsing: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters
How you build your app to interact with Solr is going to be unique to
your situation, so an exact example won't be handy, but you can infer
a lot. If you've got "string" indexed fields for category, state,
city, and company for documents in the index, then you'll first make
a query asking for the category facet back
(&facet=on&facet.field=category...) and your user interface will keep
the state of which facet the user is seeing, and you'd change the
facet field you request as the user drills in.
As you get more into the implementation and tinkering with Solr, you
might have more specific questions to refine what you're doing, but
with a little elbow grease and the Solr wiki you'll go far!

Where is this "trunk version"? I thought
apache-solr-1.1.0-incubating.zip was the latest release. Can anyone
provide a quick tutorial on how to setup facet browsing? After a
keyword search I just want to allow the user to narrow the results by
category, then by state, then by city and then by company.
Some sample code would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Sounds good. If it is sufficiently unobstrusive, it probably isn't
even necessary to change it later.

Seems like we should document it. I don't know if linking to the
exact nightly build is worth the trouble though.
If we document it in some consistent manner that can easily be
searched, it would be easier to change after a release.

What if we made a policy of including a "added in version XX" to wiki
documentation of features that aren't yet in a release? The XX could
link to a page that includes a link to the nightly build and
CHANGES.txt, or the release package for already-released versions.

Hmmm, good point.
The wiki is often updated at the same time as the most recent
development version of Solr.

Hi Jennifer,
> I can't seem to get things like facet.mincount to work.
We had same issue when we used Solr incubator version.
Now we are using trunk version of Solr and the issue was gone.
Hope this helps,

I recommend you build your query with facet options in raw format and
make sure you're getting back the data you want. Then build it into
your app.
