Hey everybody,

if you have a boolean field in your document and search for the  
document you get the field value returned as true or false - all good.  
In a term facet though, you get the value returned as "T" or "F" - The  
internal translation to true/false is not happening there. Is this a  
bug or on purpose?

I am not using any special mapping, only the dynamicly created one:

test: {  
things: {  
properties: {  
foo: { type: boolean }  
}  
}  
}

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,  
Lennart

Can you submit an issue at GitHub with the demonstration code?
