So we've been working with ElasticSearch and Geo Locations in Rails using Tire, and have run into an issue. We have locations, those locations have several attributes that can be searched on including tags. Tags are also facets. Currently all the search attributes except location are included in the Tire search using a "must" query. The location part of the search is done via a filter. Right now the search results return an attribute, current\_tags, for the list of facets scoped by the current "must" query. The problem is that current\_tags is not scoped by the location because it's a filter. I can see two possible solutions. 1. move the location filter into the "must" query. 2. scope the current\_tags by the filter. Either of these would work if either of these were supported. Unfortunately I can't find anything on Elastic for how to support either of these options. So if anyone knows how to get a list of facets out of ElasticSearch that have been scoped by a geo-aware search, I'd really appreciate a quick explanation on how to do it.

If I understand your problem correctly (I might be wrong), it seems like you are using a query with a top-level filter. Can you provide an example query? If so, the easiest solution would be to change your query/filter into a filtered query. The documents faceted on will be only be those that pass the filtered query. In the case of a top-level filter, the documents faceted on will not be affected by the filter. In this case, you can also use the same top-level filter as as facet\_filter. > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Thanks Ivan. That was exactly what I needed to fix it. Just wrapping both the query and the filter correctly (as in the link) did the trick.
