Hello,  
I'm currently building a course catalog using Search UI. One of the facets we need to filter on is the "Subject" of the course. Right now, I can only get 20 of them to show up. I've tried to add `show={100}` as described in [this topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/search-ui-how-can-i-tell-facet-to-return-all-the-options-not-a-subset-with-more-button/312961), but it's not working. The "read more" button also caps out at 20. Is there some configuration I'm missing, or a different way to ensure they all show up? The facets _are_ there — when I type them into the autocomplete of the facet or if I use a search query, the rest of them will show up.

Thanks,  
Tanza

EDIT: I recognize that this question has been answered [here](https://github.com/elastic/search-ui/blob/main/ADVANCED.md#advanced-configuration) but the link to the documentation is a dead end.

I figured it out. For future reference, you have to set the size in the facet config:

```auto
    facets: {
      "get_subject_filter": { type: "value", "sort": "value", "size": 100 },
    },

```
