Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to enhanced faceted search support for OLAP queries over unstructured text as well as structured dimensions by the dynamic and automatic discovery of dimensions that are determined to be most "interesting" to a user based upon the data. Within the exemplary embodiments "interestingness" is defined as how surprising a summary along some dimensions is from a user's expectation. Further, multi-attribute facets are determined and a user is optionally permitted to specify the distribution of values that she expects, and/or the distance metric by which actual and expected distributions are to be compared.
