[Blacklight-development] solr schema; facetting vs searching

It seems from reading the solr wiki that if you want a field to be used 
for facetting, and ALSO individually searchable as a fielded search, you 
should index it twice. Does the Blacklight indexing and interface code 
currently do this, indexing some fields (say, "subject" stuff) as facets 
AND as searchable text fields?  Looks like if you want to sort on it 
too, you might want it in yet a third version.

Can anyone point me to what part of the Blacklight code I might want to 
look at to see this in practice, both for indexing and on the interface end?
