Investigate using Search API Facets from ElasticSearch

Description

Search API Facets: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/facets.html

What we have built for task type / topic selector is basically like faceted search, so it might make sense to use the ElasticSearch API (assuming it is available to us) for this purpose. One specific benefit is being able to get the count available for each facet, so you can show the user how many results are matching a specific task type / topic before they click on it.

The API is available but we would have to build the Elastica query object and parse the response on our own. I doubt the outcome would be a net positive.
Maybe facets can somehow be grafted on top of normal search. There seem to be a couple other potential use cases (T37701, T275787, T251573).
