Is there are way to fetch all matching facets in elasticsearch query.  
According to the link given here:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/facets/terms-facet/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/facets/terms-facet/)  
it is possible to get the facet which N size. But what if I want to get all  
matching facets?

I tried specifying "size: 0" in my facet query, but that didn't seem to  
work.

Here is my sample ES query  
query: {  
..  
}  
facets: {  
company: {  
terms: {  
field: "company"  
size: _N_  
}  
}  
}

Thanks,

Hi Aash,

Sadly, there is currently no official way of getting all the terms which  
have a count\>0 . Of course you can cheat by using a very high size  
parameter (like 1000 or 10K or what ever you think you application  
consideres close enough to all). If you need a complete picture, you can  
use the all\_terms:true option to get a complete list of _all_ terms, even  
those who has 0 count in the result set. Watch out for performance problems  
if your field a very large number of terms in the index.

Cheers,  
Boaz
