Azure Search - Improving speed while getting facets only
If you want to get only facets from your search query - for some purposes as preparing filters list - remember to set limit to 0.
For example like this:
var facetResults = searchQuery.Take(0).GetFacets();
.Take(0) translates to $top=0 in Azure Search query. That will return something like this:
So only essential statistics data without actual results
