Hi,

i try to make some facets here, but some are missing - elasticsearch  
always return 10 facets in random order:

{  
"query" : { "match\_all" : { } }

```
  ,

"facets" : {
  "uhren-facetten" : { "terms" : {"fields" : ["Hersteller" ,

```

"Ziffernblattfarbe" , "Anzeige" , "Uhrwerk" , "Armbandfarbe" ,  
"Funktionen" , "Armbandmaterial" ] } , "all\_terms" : true } }  
}

}

There should be over 30 facets, but it always returns 10. I tried less  
terms and always two terms and then the correct facets are showing.  
But never more than ten 😉

I use this for the output right now:

$response = json\_decode($jason\_output, true);

$output = '' ;

$output.= print\_r($response['hits']['hits']);

$output.= print\_r($response['facets']);

On a side note: Will i have performance issues if i always run against  
all elements as long as there are less than ~5k objects ?

thx a lot in advance !

By Default Elasticsearch gives 10 results.  
You can put size with facet search.

This was it, thx. Had to figure out where to put it.. if anyone  
wonders:

{  
"query" : { "match\_all" : { } }

```
  ,

"facets" : {
  "uhren-facetten" : { "terms" : {"fields" : ["Hersteller" ,

```

"Ziffernblattfarbe" , "Anzeige" , "Uhrwerk" , "Armbandfarbe" ,  
"Funktionen" , "Armbandmaterial" ], "size" : "20" } , "all\_terms" :  
true } }  
}

}

try this

{  
"query" : { "match\_all" : { } }

```
     ,

   "facets" : {
 "uhren-facetten" : { "terms" : {"fields" : ["Hersteller" ,

```

"Ziffernblattfarbe" , "Anzeige" , "Uhrwerk" , "Armbandfarbe" ,  
"Funktionen" , "Armbandmaterial" ], "size" : 20 } , "all\_terms" :  
true } }

i.e without quotes around 20
