GrSciColl facets

https://api.gbif.org/v1/grscicoll/institution/search?facet=discipline&discipline=Biological

Facet says

{
"name": "Biological",
"count": 214
},

but count says 404

I expected them to be the same. Am I missing something?

This is because discipline is backed by a vocabulary and the search includes its children but the facets are grouped per concept without taking hierarchies into account.

@MortenHofft I'm not sure how we can make this clearer in the api. Maybe adding a param in the search such as includeChildren=false would help? the default behaviour would still be to include the children.

[MortenHofft]

I had expected both to include children since that is the behaviour we have elsewhere e.g. taxonKeys on occurrenceSearch. Which also includes children. Else animalia wouldn't be billions of results

if we need to get by exact value and not include children we could do (as you say) includeChildren.discipline=false or have a new name like facet=disciplineExact
