04/30/2021, 6:33 PMYou'd essentially need to pre-join the categories into each document. So every document would have a
string[]categoriesr
Ricardo
04/30/2021, 6:35 PM Copy code
document = {
'id': '124',
'title': 'Stark Industries to green energies',
'category': ['growth', 'tech']
}Ricardo
04/30/2021, 6:35 PMwould a facet filter just on 'tech' return this document?

04/30/2021, 6:36 PMYup it will
Jason Bosco
04/30/2021, 6:36 PMYou'd have to declare
categoryfacet: truer

04/30/2021, 6:38 PMbtw I saw your post on github asking meilisearch guys to change their comparison to typesense.
You should consider making your reply into some sort of document in the documentation or on the website

Ricardo
04/30/2021, 6:38 PMthanks for the help

Jason Bosco
04/30/2021, 6:39 PMOh ha! It eventually materialized into this table: https://typesense.org/typesense-vs-algolia-vs-elasticsearch-vs-meilisearch/

Ricardo
04/30/2021, 6:39 PMah that makes sense 🙂

04/30/2021, 6:40 PMMay I know which specific pieces in my response you found useful? I was mainly critiquing their note about Typesense (which they've now removed)...

04/30/2021, 6:43 PMso I liked the default_sorting_field I wasn't even looking at it, and not something that I will use now, but it makes a lot of sense.
"we've heard about teams successfully switching from Algolia to Typesense in production"
"we've deployed 100s of production-grade clusters on Typesense Cloud"
then the showcases although I had looked at those, but didn't notice the size of the datasets before.
Ricardo
04/30/2021, 6:44 PMwould be really cool to see a case study (maybe there's one already?) on teams moving from algolia to typesense

04/30/2021, 6:47 PMInteresting! Good to know. Admittedly we're a little lacking on the marketing front. One user recently voluntarily offered to do a case study for us. May be I'll take them up on it... Time being the main constraint!
