== Facets

Elasticsearch provides a full Java API to play with facets. See the
link:{ref}/search-facets.html[Facets guide].

Use the factory for facet builders (`FacetBuilders`) and add each facet
you want to compute when querying and add it to your search request:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
SearchResponse sr = node.client().prepareSearch()
        .setQuery( /* your query */ )
        .addFacet( /* add a facet */ )
        .execute().actionGet();
--------------------------------------------------

Note that you can add more than one facet. See
link:{ref}/search-search.html[Search Java API] for details.

To build facet requests, use `FacetBuilders` helpers. Just import them
in your class:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
import org.elasticsearch.search.facet.FacetBuilders.*;
--------------------------------------------------

[float]
=== Facet filters (not Filter Facet)

By default, facets are applied on the query resultset whatever filters
exists or are.

If you need to compute facets with the same filters or even with other
filters, you can add the filter to any facet using
`AbstractFacetBuilder#facetFilter(FilterBuilder)` method:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
FacetBuilders
    .termsFacet("f").field("brand") // Your facet
    .facetFilter( // Your filter here
        FilterBuilders.termFilter("colour", "pale")
    );
--------------------------------------------------

For example, you can reuse the same filter you created for your query:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
// A common filter
FilterBuilder filter = FilterBuilders.termFilter("colour", "pale");

TermsFacetBuilder facet = FacetBuilders.termsFacet("f")
    .field("brand")
    .facetFilter(filter);                           // We apply it to the facet

SearchResponse sr = node.client().prepareSearch()
    .setQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery())
    .setFilter(filter)                              // We apply it to the query
    .addFacet(facet)
    .execute().actionGet();
--------------------------------------------------

See documentation on how to build
<<query-dsl-filters,Filters>>.

[float]
=== Scope

By default, facets are computed within the query resultset. But, you can
compute facets from all documents in the index whatever the query is,
using `global` parameter:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
TermsFacetBuilder facet = FacetBuilders.termsFacet("f")
    .field("brand")
    .global(true);
--------------------------------------------------
