I'm looking for Java API describing facet search, where can I see it? ---

I'm afraid there isn't. But, it's really easy to use. Just addFacet to your search using facet builder : [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java) [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java#L321](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java#L321) [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/FacetBuilders.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/FacetBuilders.java) ## HTH, David Pilato [http://dev.david.pilato.fr/](http://dev.david.pilato.fr/) Twitter : @dadoonet Le 29 octobre 2011 à 01:29, Irbis [alexeylevin1@gmail.com](mailto:alexeylevin1@gmail.com) a écrit : > I'm looking for Java API describing facet search, where can I see it? ---

Hi David, Thank you for the response. I found how to run the facet search, but returns all the values for given field name. I want to search for specific value, for example, field name Type and value "Car" so I want it returns counts for Car only On Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 2:10 AM, [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) wrote: > \*\* > > I'm afraid there isn't. > > But, it's really easy to use. > > Just addFacet to your search using facet builder : > > [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java) > > [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java#L321](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java#L321) > > [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java#L321](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/builder/SearchSourceBuilder.java#L321) > > [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/FacetBuilders.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/FacetBuilders.java) > > HTH, > > -- > David Pilato > [http://dev.david.pilato.fr/](http://dev.david.pilato.fr/) > Twitter : @dadoonet > > Le 29 octobre 2011 à 01:29, Irbis [alexeylevin1@gmail.com](mailto:alexeylevin1@gmail.com) a écrit : > > > I'm looking for Java API describing facet search, where can I see it? ---

Alexey, faceted search is different to a normal search which also returns the total count. If you want an optimized count search there is also the count api: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Dear all, I'm playing with elastic search, it's pretty good. But here I meet some problem on facet. I tried to issue a search request with code like below: SearchRequestBuilder srb = ... //set query and other properties. TermFacetBuilder facet = new TermFacetBuilder("tags"); facet.field("docs"); srb.addFacet(facet); After I execute this search request, I can get a search response, when I print the response, I see all terms with count number, but I don't know how to get the count via java code, could anyone give me some resource? Thanks very much~~~ Yang ---
