I have a boolean field 'flag' which I want to filter for facet field  
'sub\_type'. But the total count is zero though there are some documents  
satisfying the criteria.  
But if I apply facet-filter on any other field (non-boolean) I get the  
results. Is there any work around for this?

Json of Facet looks like :

"facets" : {  
"sub-type" : {  
"terms" : {  
"field" : "sub-type",  
"size" : 10  
},  
"facet\_filter" : {  
"term" : {  
"flag" : true  
}  
},  
"global" : true  
}  
}

Thanks

Is the sub-type field analyzed?
