I have an index of tweets where each document has a URL, text and 1 or more tags. A terms facet on tags gets produces the top 20 most popular tags - this is great. In a second query, for each of these 20 distinct tags, I'd like to pull out a sample document (doesn't matter which one). Is this possible within a single query or does it need multi-search? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

IMHO, multisearch is the way to go.
