Faceting on All Fields in Algolia

TLDR Dipankar inquired about faceting on all fields in Algolia, paralleling a need Viji also had. Kishore Nallan confirmed this feature isn't currently available and requested an issue be created on Github, to which Dipankar complied.

Is there any way to get all the facets.? Eg in algolia we can do this like index.search("", {facets: ["*"]})

Or do you mean you want to facet on all the fields?

Yes, all the fields, no other search info needed, so i can show all the filters disabled if there is no match in each filter.

Got it, we don't a way to do that right now. Can you please create a Github issue for us to track and prioritize?
