Any idea if facets are feasable for hOOt?

What do you mean?

Is faceted search something that will fit in the architecture? Would it require a big effort to add? Is it in the scope of the project?

I have no idea what it is, so I can't say.

Oh I'm sorry. I would explain it as the extra filters for properties that are a bit more structured you sometimes see when searching (like searching on github, you can drill down by language). But I guess wikipedia has a more generic explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search

It seems a UI thing for generating queries to run.

Its not. The index needs to know about facets, and a search should return a collection of facets with info about the counts per facet. Or at least thats how lucene does it.
