Working with Facets
- Facets are generated by VuFind queries just as the search results are generated. They come from the biblio index in solr, which probably has a pathname like /vufind/solr/biblio/index
- VuFind allows for “configuration” of facets in terms of which facets to show and in which order. Just edit /vufind/web/conf/facets.ini text file in your favorite text editor.
- One helpful way to understand facets is to submit queries to SOLR to return faceted results directly in XML: See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters and scroll all the way down for examples of URLs and examples.
- More details on adding facets (with a particular focus on building them using data in MARC records) can be found on this page.
