From [Hibernate Search Forum: Bug or not? Faceted search + embedded
fields (*tomany)|https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1010472&start=0].
Faceted search won't work correctly when used on collections. For the cause I
quote Hardy Ferentschik : ??The current faceting implementation utilizes the Lucene
FieldCache which has a limitation that each document must have a single value for the
specified field.??
I can think of many use cases in which faceted search on collections is really needed,
some examples:
Facetting on authors when searching for publications
Facetting on ingredients when searching for recipes
Facetting on actors when searching for movies
...
Attached is a hibernate search test case. It fails on retrieving the right amount of
matched authors.
Currently I don't have the needed insight to suggest an improvement on current
implementation to make it compatible with collections. Hopefully it can be achieved with
small changes. Good luck :)
