Azure Search load only facets list

Question

Currently, I've started to explore Azure Cognitive Search and I'm playing with a sample app.

What I'm trying to find is how to load the list of all facets, but I can't find a way.

Is there a possibility to do this?

Answer 1

Based on your question description, I understand you want to load only the facets list in Azure Cognitive Search. You may try to load those by Facets property of the SearchOptions class.

Take a look at these doc for more info:

Add faceted navigation to a search app

You can add facets to the list by using the Add method. Take a look at this sample, where we add the Category and Tags facets as follows:

var options = new SearchOptions
{
    Filter = "",
    SearchMode = SearchMode.All,
    IncludeTotalCount = true,
};

options.Facets.Add("Category,count:20");
options.Facets.Add("Tags,count:20");
