How to filter Search API index view by taxonomy parent

I am using the default database server that comes with search api. I have the Hierarchy Index ticked and I also have the taxonomy field that I want selected.

Could someone give me instructions on how to configure the view to have it filtered by the taxonomy parent/show only the children of the selected parent term? I just want a drop down like you would have with a regular view.

(I got this to work in D7 a while ago but I think that was because the field still retained its taxonomy data type when indexed but now with D8 it has none of that.)

  • I can add a field that has a parent relationship but that does nothing.
  • I tried adding a field Vocabulary » Taxonomy term » Term Parents and tried to filter by that but nothing.
