Increasing Facet Limit with Solr Search

By default Solr will return a maximum of 100 faceted results in one bucket. Below is how to increase that limit.

1. Identify your Solr core name in the search settings(workarea > settings > configuration > Status).
   
2. Edit your core's solrconfig.xml file.
   
   9.2 and above versions
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Ektron\Search2.0\Solr\cores\yourCoreName\conf\solrconfig.xml
   
   Below 9.2
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Ektron\Search2.0\Solr\server\solr\cores\yourCoreName\conf\solrconfig.xml
   
3. Search for faceting defaults(shown below) and add facet.limit with the desired quantity of facet results. -1 allows unlimited results. Typically faceting is turned on by default but it can be explicitly turned on as shown.

    <!-- Faceting defaults -->
    <str name="facet">on</str>
    <str name="facet.limit">-1</str>

4. Search for the name="/query" handler(shown below) and add facet.limit with the desired quantity of facet results. -1 allows unlimited results.

    <requestHandler name="/query" class="solr.SearchHandler">
       <lst name="defaults">
          <!-- new lines for faceting -->
          <str name="facet">true</str>
          <str name="facet.limit">-1</str>
          <!-- end of new lines -->
          <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
          <str name="wt">json</str>
          <str name="indent">true</str>
          <str name="df">text</str>
        </lst>
    </requestHandler>

5. Search for the name="/select" handler(shown below) and update facet.limit with the desired quantity of facet results. -1 allows unlimited results.
   
   

    <requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler">
       <!-- default values for query parameters can be specified, these
       will be overridden by parameters in the request
        -->
       <lst name="defaults">
          <!-- new lines for faceting -->
          <str name="facet">true</str>
          <str name="facet.limit">-1</str>
          <!-- end of new lines -->
          <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
          <int name="rows">10</int>
          <str name="df">text</str>
          <str name="spellcheck.dictionary">default</str>
          <int name="hl.maxAnalyzedChars">100000</int>
       </lst>

6. Restart the Solr process manager to make the change take effect.
