Describe the problem
From #695
This is based on an assumption, but if I'd implement this endpoint in the search engine, I would shortcut to the facet search as soon as I see type: facet, so this has a chance to be imperceptually faster

Describe the solution
We already have some manipulation to support the legacy signature of the search method, so we can set the type: 'facet' parameter earlier in the query
