I am trying to create facets of string values and it seems to return tokens  
of the strings.

The value supplier\_name name has the following values "adidas" and "reebok  
international". How can I get 2 facets rather than 3 ?

"facets" : {  
"supplier\_name" : {  
"\_type" : "terms",  
"missing" : 0,  
"total" : 2603,  
"other" : 0,  
"terms" : [ {  
"term" : "adidas",  
"count" : 1169  
}, {  
"term" : "international",  
"count" : 1169  
}, {  
"term" : "reebok",  
"count" : 265  
} ]  
}  
}

Hello!

Configure the field you are doing faceting on to index: not\_analyzed instead of index: analyzed.
