Terms facet to include item where term is missing

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Say I have two documents like so:

{ "field1": "hello", "field2": "world" }
{ "field1": "moo" }

And I run a terms facet on field2.

It would give me count 1 for "world" but I would also want a count of
1 for null. Is this possible to achieve this somehow?

(Note: all fields are set to non_analysed in the dynamic_mapping.json)

Thanks
Neil

Sure, quite simple to implement, can you open a feature request?

Looks like this was just added, sweet :slight_smile:

Curious, will this functionality treat all the following the same for
field2?
{ "field1": "moo" }
{ "field1": "moo", "field2": null }
{ "field1": "moo", "field2": "" }

Thanks!

Yea, though null values are generally better to use than empty strings.
