Thanks for you comment.

As you know, this is done this way in Worldcat which is Koha OPAC model:

http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=author

1000 author facets are not generated but the five first authors ordered 
by their relative weight to the resultset. That's all what facets are 
about. Display layer (Koha) can't do that; Zebra can or is supposed to 
be able to do that.

The way facets are displayed now is very disturbing for multi-branches
library. 'Site' facets won't show libraries which haven't biblio
records on the first page even if they have books on following
pages. Now, in this situation, a patron can conclude that their isn't
any book at all matching his request and stop searching if he wants
to refine his search to a specific library.
