Is there a way to limit the terms returned by a terms facet to ones that only have a count greater than some number? Size limits the number of total terms returned, but I'd like to only get back terms that have a count > 1. -- ---

Anyone know if this is something that can be done? I remember reading somewhere that said this was possible, but nothing in the elasticsearch web page says so.

I don't think terms facets support such functionality at the moment. I am also not aware of any 3rd party plugins that would do that, but it doesn't mean they don't exist 🙂 On Thursday, November 29, 2012 10:53:26 AM UTC-5, Mike wrote: > Anyone know if this is something that can be done?
