A basic guide to setting up a view for showing backreferences from node of Content Type A to Content Type B would be much appreciated.

rjacobs commentedThe following seems to work (after this module is installed of course):
That last point is one that could potentially used a bit of additional clarification/research. It's not totally clear to me to what extent the backreferenced field can be located and fetched directly from the Search API DB (like a true SQL join would do) without needing to do an entity_load() for the backreferenced entity. My thinking was that if the entity reference field and the target field were both indexed in the same Search API index then maybe it would be possible, but I have not investigated all this. This all seems to be pretty sticky... as shown in the conversations at:
#1130806: Potential Performance Issues
#1154116: Search API Solr retrieving search results data directly from SOLR, avoid going through MySQL
#1089758: Make use of new flexibility for Views field handlers
Someone else may be able to elaborate on all this a bit further....
