Hello,

Am using the Search API facets, I tried our the "Facets Block" display in views. It works well. But my concern is, I have 5 fields to display, but in that view I can select the only one "Facet field". Even I using Facetapi Select to display the terms in select list. So, whenever I display the "Facets Block" contents, it never shows the select list as well as when we click on this its not going to the main search page.
Please any one help on this case.

Thanks in advance.

You can just enable "Hide block" for the "Facets block" display. With that, on the pages where you have configured the block to be shown, the search will be executed, but the block will not actually be shown. (The selected facet field is, in this case, meaningless.)
And once the search is executed there, you can just place the regular facet blocks on that page to have them show your facets. (It's just a problem to show them in a different place than where they're on the search page – either use tools like Panels to solve this, or complain in the Facet API issue queue, or wait for Drupal 8.)

PS: It seems you (like many others – it's really easy to misinterpret) are confused by the "Issue tags" field. As the guidelines state, they aren't meant for free text tags related to the issue, but only for specific categorization purposes, usually by module maintainers.
So, if you aren't sure your current usage is correct, please just leave the field empty.
Also, the "Assigned" field shows who is actively working on providing, e.g., a patch for an issue. So unless you're doing that, please don't assign issues to yourself.
