Facet a multivalued field

[chilakilez]

$extraSettings = array("facet" => "true", # Turn faceting on
'facet.mincount' => "1", # Just displays those that
are above 0
'facet.limit' => '-1'), # facet.limit by
default will only load 100 faceted categories, -1 (infinite)
'facet.field' => 'words'); # facet.field
Facet words field

$response = $this->_solr->search($query, $pim_offset, $pim_limit,
$extraSettings);

Does the above work for multivalued fields? i have a multivalued field
called words, and for some reason i'm unable to facet it via solr-php-
client.
Am I missing something in here?
My problem is that is one document contains two or more words, the
faceting doesn't add these up, so if have:
<id>1</id>
<title>Hello</title>
<arr name="words">
<str>builders</str>
<str>builders</str>
<str>buildings</str>
<str>buildings</str>
<str>construction</str>
<str>construction</str>
<str>green</str>
<str>green</str>
</arr>

It just shows up:

<lst name="words">
<int name="builders_NNS">1</int>
<int name="buildings_NNS">1</int>
<int name="construction_NN">1</int>
<int name="green_JJ">1</int>

I'm not sure if this a solr-php-client related question (as faceting
in other fields works fine) or more towards Solr functionality
itlsef...
Would appreciate the help

You can facet on multivalued fields, but i don't think its going to return results like you want. The facet counts are the number of documents that both match the query and have a particular field term (no matter how many times). It won't return the number of times a term occurs over all those documents like I think you're expecting in your example. I'm not sure of any search component that currently does that. You might want to ask the solr user lists: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/mailing_lists.html

Hope I understood your question and was helpful,

Yeah you nailed it, thanks Donovan, my approach is not within the
scope of the facet feature in Solr apparently.
