Hello, Just wondering how the following requirements can be accomplished using ElasticSearch (if there's such an option). I have several sets of documents that contains the following fields: doc 1: username --\> user123 author --\> John Doe content --\> This is a test message doc 2: username --\> user112 author --\> John Doe Jr. content --\> This is a test message from junior I want to be able to display a navigation based on terms facet like (links): John Doe (1) John Doe Jr (1) The "John Doe (1)" link is based on the following sample html anchor The "John Doe Jr (1)" link is based on the following sample html anchor Can this be done using a single term facet query? ---

It wonders me too. I have one field with document's internal name and second with "caption" - translation to show. I'd like to do filtering on internal name but show facet values taken from caption field. It'd be great to have terms facet, that returns aggregated data from these two fields (facet values as pairs of internal name and caption).

In this case, why not do a simple search on the author name and get back the doc itself, without using terms facet? The text phrase prefix query might fit here.
