07:35 AMI have 15k records, which have a field "owner" which has ~ 1000 distinct values. I want the top 1, grouped by this owner, and then get the facet values based on this, but from what I read here:
https://threads.typesense.org/kb/t/grouping-and-aggregation-in-typesense/2K62a0
facets are always running before grouping, not after. Is there a way to get faceted search running on the grouped resultset? (or an alternative way to do this)
