How to use custom PHP code?
PHP code can be added to your (child) theme's functions.php file. Alternatively, you can use the Custom Hooks add-on, or a code snippets plugin. More info
add_filter( 'facetwp_index_row', function( $params, $class ) {
  if ( 'has_image' == $params['facet_name'] ) {
    $post_id = (int) $params['post_id'];

    $params['facet_value'] = ''; // by default, skip this row
    if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post_id ) ) {
      $params['facet_value'] = 1;
      $params['facet_display_value'] = 'Yes';
    }
  }
  return $params;
}, 10, 2 );

Make sure to re-index afterwards. If it works correctly, your facet will contain one choice (“Yes”). Clicking that choice will narrow the listing to only post items containing a featured image.
