{# Dredge compiles these pages into the search database, so the facets it needs are declared here and nowhere else. Multi-valued facets are marked up on the values themselves, further down. #} {# The four multi-valued facets live in side tables a Dredge hit never carries, so the labels a result row and the CSV export show are stored again as pipe-joined display fields. The facet attributes further down keep carrying `facet_value`. #} {# The full text is a Dredge store_field, so a search result can render it without a second request. Dredge collapses all whitespace in an extracted value, so the paragraph breaks are carried as U+241E, which appears nowhere in the corpus. #}
