faceted search

Hello,
We are creating a shopping cart and used apache solr for indexing the data and with help of facet api we created blocks of categories but we want to integrate our faceted blocks with taxonomy. With the help of pretty facet we created the urls like taxonomy terms but faceted blocks were not coming on that page.
For Example : I have created faceted path as "product/category/categoryname" also same url of my taxonomy term view "product/category/categoryname"
but on the page of "product/category/categoryname" my faceted search block is not present.

I have a site that is using SOLR search with just a couple facets. The filter by type facet works for my needs out of the box without much adjustment. However, I need to change the markup of the 'sort by' facet to be a 'select' list rather than a unordered list to match the design.

I have been searching for a solution to this, but have yet to find one. The site is in D7 w apachesolr 7.x-1.0-beta16.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Problem

The search community is fragmented. The problem stems from a core search module that doesn't facilitate third party backends, so each project is forced to solve similar problems in slightly different ways. Each contributed module has its own isolated sub-community, which is detrimental to Drupal as a whole.

I can tell by the usage statistics that you haven't tried the Search API module yet! Run, don't walk, to the download page and give it a go. You'll have to pick yourself up a copy of the Entity module as well, but then you're all set.

Hi:

I am a relative newbie and have been reading up on the different types of search available to Drupal. I am most interested in faceted search for my particular needs. Solr seems great but,as a startup, I have a tight budget so I'm trying to decide between the Lucene API Module or the Faceted Search Module, both of which also seem great, but I have a few questions....
