Solr and facet search

Question

Does facet searching come built in when you setup your schema or do you have to do some things to set this up?

Does it basically work out of the box on all the fields th

Answer 1

Yes, you can facet any indexed field out of the box. However it might not give you the results you expect until you configure faceting fields according to your data types.

Faceting is enabled and used through the facet.* parameters, not fq. fq is used when the user selects a facet value.
