Heya, ``` I am working on some refactoring both in the facets area specifically ``` and in search in general. I an planning to remove the option to have a search\_type of query\_and\_fetch, since I find it less useful than I thought initially (you almost never want to use it). Ping if you still want it in, and why. -shay.banon ---

Hi Shay, isn't this search type the fastest when I expect only a few hits? E.g. when user id is the user name but the user document can also retrieved via twitter token. What is the reason you want remove that? Is that regarding the facets problem in issue 1305? Regards, Peter.

Yes, if the request goes to several shards, then it will be faster if there are "few" results, but not terribly faster. > What is the reason you want remove that?

Thats one of them (the issue), I want to improve the search execution to make it both simpler to maintain, as well as simpler to extend. > Regards, > Peter. > > On 3 Nov., 00:10, Shay Banon [kim...@gmail.com](mailto:kim...@gmail.com) wrote: > > > Heya, > > > > ``` > > I am working on some refactoring both in the facets area specifically > > > > ``` > > > > and in search in general.
