Solr - Getting facet counts without returning search results

I need to return only the facet counts from solr. So I basically want to search over all documents and return the facet counts, but I don't want to return any search results. Is this possible?

Thanks

Solution

  • Setting facet=true will enable faceting and setting rows=0 will prevent any results being returned. Conveniently the numFound will show you how many results were found.
