Is this possible?

I have an eCommerce site with almost 1000 products and we had a textfield for manufacturer. I have installed Apache Solr and would like to use the manufacturer field as a facet. Unfortunately, Solr doesn't like text areas for facets.

So I would really like to be able to convert the field making the text values choices in a select list.

Any insights?

Well, that was easy. I just extracted all of the values using Views, and then changed the CCK field to select list type and copied the extracted data as the values in the select list. Everything worked perfectly and all of my product nodes retain the info.

Now id I could just get Solr to see the data fields...
