Hello, Can one have a facet that is field based? The field is analyzed, but I dont want a terms facet. I would like to facet on the entire text of the field? Thanks -- ---

You would need to set the field as multi-field, with one field set as non\_analyzed (or use the keyword analyzer). You can then use the term facet on this new field. This change requires a re-index. Your current index does not have the proper tokens to create the facet you are looking for. -- Ivan On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 10:26 AM, Kubes [philip@freepricealerts.com](mailto:philip@freepricealerts.com) wrote: > Hello, > > Can one have a facet that is field based?

Iva, Thanks. So being new to Elasticsearch a few additional questions? 1. Setting field as multi-field is via a mapping, correct? 2. How does one re-index? My understanding was it cant be done?

Not sure, never used it. Technically, you do not need to reindex, but only newer documents will have the mapping and contain both fields. When you have a facet over the new field, the older documents will not appear. -- Ivan > On Tuesday, December 11, 2012 2:27:51 PM UTC-5, Ivan Brusic wrote: > > > You would need to set the field as multi-field, with one field set as > > non\_analyzed (or use the keyword analyzer).
