Hi Elastic Search group,
Has anyone implemented a facet filter on a query where you can have
multiple facets (HTML checkboxes) to narrow down results? Similar to
how linkedIn faceted navigation works, I want to build the same. I'm
using PyES and unsure the best way to implement this type of linkedin
faceted behavior.
Thanks in advance,
Royce

It depends what you want to do, if you want a linkedin like behavior, then
you don't need to have a facet filter (since it only applies to the facet),
but instead have a either a search filter(
[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/filter.html)), or a
filtered query (
[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/filtered-query.html))
as your query, with multiple and filter (
