Hi,

I needed help.

I have my document with the below structure(reduced for simplicity):

{  
id: 1,  
applications: {  
search: {  
applicable: no,  
level: 1  
}  
}  
}

Question:

1. How do i get facets for the inner object 'search'. i.e.  
applications.search.
2. How do i get facets for the key 'applicable'. i.e.  
applications.search.applicable

Please help.  
Thanks alot,  
Jaskaran
