Inconsistent Facet Counts in Typesense Song Dataset

TLDR Ailish queried the discrepancy in facet counts on Typesense's song dataset, Jason explained it was due to non-exhaustive default search, suggesting the addition of exhaustive_search=true for precise counts.

Hey - sorry if this has been asked before but why is it that in the dataset of songs example, the facet for 1960s displays a count of 20, but when I actually select the facet, there are 24 results returned?

Ailish By default Typesense does not do an exhaustive search for performance reasons. If you need precise counts, you want to add exhaustive_search=true as a search query param
