In contrast with full text search, a filter value or expression only returns a strict match. Faceted navigation uses a filter to pass back the facet category selected by the user. The “select” parameter is used to specify which fields to include in a result set, effectively trimming the response before sending it to the calling application. This parameter does not refine the query or reduce the document collection, but if a smaller response is your goal, this parameter is an option to consider.
