Hi guys! I have a couple of questions about filtering: 1. I have an optional field called

fabric_type

. How can I filter my search to return only documents that have

fabric_type=null

? 2. I have a

string[]

field called

certifications

. How can I filter my search to return only documents that do not have empty array as a value (so documents that have some values)? Thanks!

Hey there! So Typesense doesn't include a way to filter by an optional field existing or not existing. What I would suggest you try out, is create another mandatory field for each optional field called

<field>_exists

(

fabric_type_exists

) and set that to true or false, depending on the document itself. For array types, you could even count the number of

certifications

for example and have that as an

int32

field, so filter by

certifications_count:>0

(useful for boosting documents with more certifications by sorting by that field)

Thank you very much!
