Hi Nicolai,

>> The product name is does not return facet options for facet fields
I understand why I don't get options now, because I have +2048 terms... Did not remember that until I read your reply.
I know that if I add ?debug=true it shows up in the Execution table, but because there was no Facet.Error tag, it was overlooked. Another way to do this was to have the UI show a message when we create a facet field and we selected a field that has +2048

>> The product name only returns 100 options for facet terms
Understood from http://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum?ThreadID=48735 

>> Even when we are filtering, nothing is updated
Reasons above apply

>> (Not captured in screencast) If I set both facets to the same paramenter, then I get 200 options for both facets
I did define it in an OR group, but I get the same result with and AND. And this is not critical, as I am pointing 2 facets to the same parameter (again, I did it by mistake). If you are confident this is not potential issue in the code, I am fine with it :)

correct, there is a limit on 2048 terms for a field for makin Field facets - it simply cannot create a facet result set at all no matter what search is made.

That is why we introduced the term facet where you can return all (top 100) terms of a field in the context of the search. So if you create a facetted search on a huge index, once you apply enough criterias it is possible to show a facet over a field like authors that would usually contain one trissilion different values.

Hi Nicolai,

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I'll place a feature request for a gentle warning when setting up Facet fields with over 2048 (no particular validation), but I think it makes sense to have (since the amount of terms is already there nonetheless).
