The last release was over a year back and personally I find the docs very  
sparse. I also
think there is a lot of complexity in bob browse which is not needed for  
simple faceting.

Either way, I don't think it would be a good idea to expose the bobo  
browse facet API directly
in Search. This would bind us to bobo browse for now apparent reason. If  
we come up with with
a working facet API for Search we can always change the implementation  
later or make it
configurable.

There are code examples in SimpleFacetingTest.java and  
RangeFacetingTest.java in this
package  
https://github.com/hferentschik/hibernate-search/tree/3a9877e2bbc47a8bd6e438dbbab56d93ac9101fd/hibernate-search/src/test/java/org/hibernate/search/test/query/facet

If you get hold of  
https://github.com/hferentschik/hibernate-search/tree/HSEARCH-667 you can  
always run
these examples by running 'mvn clean test'
