Hi , I have a name value pair list and i want to apply facets on the name part. So the query should run as if its running on a array with just the name as its elements. I have added all details in the gist - [https://gist.github.com/1346922](https://gist.github.com/1346922) Thanks Vineeth ---

hey i got the answer from one of Shay's reply to a mail. I got my purpose using term facets. But again am trying to understand the good/bad things on term\_facets VS nested types Thanks Vineeth On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Vineeth Mohan [vineethmohan@algotree.com](mailto:vineethmohan@algotree.com)wrote: > Hi , > > I have a name value pair list and i want to apply facets on the name part. > So the query should run as if its running on a array with just the name as > its elements. > > I have added all details in the gist - [Faceting on Key-Value pair list ยท GitHub](https://gist.github.com/1346922) > > Thanks > Vineeth ---
