I scanned through this quickly, but didn't get a good feel for the
architecture.  Is the faceted approach layered on top of the search as
a post-processing filter, or are the facets being handled directly by
the search engine?

My instinct (and similar attempts in the past) have involved doing a
rough pass at filtering on the server, then pushing as much of the raw
data as possible to the browser while letting most of the presentation
details happen at the client side.   I don't yet see how it can be
done efficiently on the server side.

It's a topic that interests me, though.
