 A line defining the new index must be added to Solr's schema.xml file (found in solr/biblio/conf under your VuFind installation) and a line for the new facet will be added to [[configuration:files:facets.ini]] (see above for instructions).
+===== Troubleshooting =====
+==== string vs. text fields ====
+If you set up a facet field and see individual words instead of complete facet values, this most likely means that you have faceted on an analyzed field (usually of type "text" in [[development:architecture:solr_index_schema|VuFind's Solr schema]]). Solr faceting displays the terms stored in the index, not the original raw text provided at index-time. Thus, if you facet on an analyzed field that tokenizes and manipulates strings, strange facet values may appear to the end user. Most of the time, you only want to facet on simple string fields to avoid this problem. This is why the default schema includes some apparently duplicate values -- it is generally necessary to use different fields for search-oriented and facet-oriented tasks.
