Solr: Facet is not creating any output - apache

Question

I am using Solr 4.4.0 and running some basic queries. This is what I do when i insert title:* in the query box
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">
<int name="status">0</int>
<int name="QTime">3</int>
<lst name="params">
<str name="q">title:*</str>
<str name="indent">true</str>
<str name="wt">xml</str>
<str name="_">1430883449558</str>
</lst>
</lst>
<result name="response" numFound="70" start="0">

and so on and so forth 70 times...
And this is okay, because this is the result I want(70 books), but when I try to add the facet.field = publisher, it doesn't do anything. It returns the exact same output as above. How can I get this facet to work? the indexing is set to true and everything. what am I doing wrong? Here is an excerpt of my schema:
<field name="title" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/>
<field name="subject" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="description" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="comments" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="author" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>

Answer 1

You need to change text_general on publisher field which uses WhitespaceTokenizerFactory means it splits phrases/strings into chunks whenever it encounters whitespace.
<field name="publisher" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
So Cambridge University Press is divided into
Cambridge
University
Press
Either remove that tokenizer or use other fieldType which doesn't use WhitespaceTokenizerFactory
You can use string fieldtype so update following and restart Solr and index data again
<field name="publisher" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
