We would like to show the average value of a number column that is part of the search results. Possibly in a Custom Search block.

Is there already a way to do this (which i then missed), or what would be the best approach to implement this?

I came across this page (for Solr) that pretty much describes that (at least) Solr can do exactly this.

That page also describes these statistics can be loaded on a per facet basis. There is also an issue for this in the facetapi queue.

Stats component in solr 3 is now fully json compatible. In the Apache Solr we use it for the range query facet type. I'm sure we can utilize this in Search API but it's more a solr feature. I'm not sure how it would translate back to mysql or to the backend but it's not impossible.

Would you be able to provide a better example and perhaps some sketchup how you would like this to work? Also moving it up to D8
