    Is it possible to index acf fields as filters along with taxonomy filters , currently taxonomies have the filters.. Can it be configure with acf field values also.. either single acf value or comma seperated ?

    Yes, all types of ACF fields can be used as facets, including select and repeaters.

    ACF Documentation.

    It should work indeed for repeaters, as described in https://www.wpsolr.com/guide/configuration-step-by-step-schematic/activate-extensions/acf-add-on/

    I followed the steps to activate acf addon, and created repeater field with checkboxes, and using the filter type also as checkboxes.

    When I am sending to Index. I am getting the value as 1, instead of actual label name

    I havent installed acf addon, seems it was causing the issue, also I re created new acf fields, now the data is sending to elastic fine. Now, its sending the label name instead of number 1.

    I would need one add_filter, as I would be using text field for ACF with comma separated values, and send them to index as multiple fields same as acf does with repeaters.
    It should create show as the same way if we are using a repeater.

    Can we explode using comma and make it same was as a repeater field, any filter would be helpful. we have some limitation of using repeater as it creates multiple rows in db table.

    Thanks for the details.
    I could replicate the same issue on my local environment. Investigating…

    Issue is resolved where I was getting number 1, but I would need a way without using the repeater field, but achieving the same output with acf text field with comma separated values.

    This is how I wanted to send when using comma seperated text fields in acf without repeater, and these should be shown as individual filters as it works with repeater.

    Why not using a checkbox then?

    Instead of repeater ? or checkbox field within repeater as sub field ?

    Sometimes, I would need around 500-1000 values also, so checkbox would create a long list inside the edit post page…

    It is something we do not provide. You could use tags instead, or ACF repeaters, or ACF checkboxes.

    Okay, I am using the repeater field, but having issues with the filter display, its not getting filtered based on the search results, the filter checkboxes remains same even if the returned search doesn’t have the data.
