Your problem is out of my experience, so all I can suggest is that you search the list archive. I know the idea of faceted searching has been discussed by people with waaay more experience in that realm than I have and, as I remember, there were some links provided....
I just searched for 'faceted' on the e-mails I've seen since I subscribed to the list, and there are certainly discussions out there... This thread might be particularly useful, started 15-May-2006 *Aggregating category hits * Best of luck Erick On 10/18/06, Johan Stuyts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

But I think it is not a viable solution either. These are the problems that I see: - the number of segments will probably increase too fast, requiring optimizations regularly. - Given the size of the external data, making it consistent with the Lucene index will, in the worst case, require processing and writing to disk of hundreds of megabytes. The biggest problem is of course the combination of them: having to process too much data too may times.
