Hi!

I would like to use the termsFacet for a search over two indexfields: User  
and Category for example.

The facets should be separated displayed in reference to the indexfields.  
Is that possible or have i  
to add 2 facets to the searchrequest?

Thanks!

Hi Sandra,  
you can make a facet on multiple fields, but then all the values coming  
from those multiple fields would be merged into a single facet, thus it's  
not possible to display them separately, if that's what you were asking.

I think in your case two different facets should work fine.

Cheers  
Luca
