Is there a way to a facet disjunctive when using a facet query:

I have a query like this:

```auto
"filters": {
        "all": [
            {
                "properties.Color": ["Black"]
            }
        ]
    },
    "facets": {
             "properties.Color": [
            {
                "type": "value",
                "name": "color",
                "sort": {
                    "count": "desc"
                },
                "size": 5
            }
        ]
    },

```

I would like the facet-result to return all colors so that I can query several colors and get results that has either color. While still allowing the user to pick more colors

Hi @Tobias_Monster , welcome to the community!

There is not a direct way of doing disjunctive faceting via App Search API.

However, you could use [Search UI](https://www.elastic.co/enterprise-search/search-ui) for achieving this. Search UI provides disjunctive facets that is done client side - it performs two queries, one with the filter applied and other without.

You can check the [source code for it](https://github.com/elastic/app-search-javascript/blob/master/src/client.js#L86) or use Search UI for interacting with App Search.

Hope this helps!
