Hi,
I'm using the geo\_distance filter to lookup a list of vehicle dealers
within a radius starting from a GeoPoint location.
The problem is that the returned terms facets ignore the filter and return
the whole count.
Is there any way to get the facets aware of the filters the same as with
queries or to achieve the same thing with the geo\_shape query ?
The document mapping:
{
"vehicle": {
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "long"
},
"label": {
"type": "string"
},
"model": {
"type": "string"
},
"dealer": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "long"
},
"location": {
"type": "geo\_point"
}
}
}
}
}
}
The query:
{
"query": {
"match\_all": {}
},
"filter": {
"geo\_distance": {
"distance": "200km",
"pin.location": {
"lat": 40,
"lon": -70
}
}
},
"facets": {
"models": {
"terms": {
"field": "model"
}
}
}
}
Here the model facet returns the same count as if we remove the filter.
I will really appreciate your help.
Regards,

Hey,
if you want the facets to use the filter, use a filtered query inside of
your "query" field which incorporates the "filter" field. A top level
filter is never used for facets. Alternatively you can also add facet
filters to your facet query in order to reduce results.
Hope this helps.

It's working perfectly. Thanks you Alex for your clear explanation 🙂
