What it is
Interactive filters presented alongside or above results that let shoppers narrow a result set by attributes such as price ranges, brand, type, tags, size, color, or custom metafields.
Why it matters
Facets transform large result sets into manageable subsets based on attributes shoppers care about. They reduce browsing time and increase the chance of finding a purchase-ready product.
How to configure
Navigate to Faceted Navigation / Filters inside Instant Search.
Enable the filters you want (Price, Brand, Type, Tags, Custom metafields).
Order and group facets to prioritize the most relevant attributes.
Save and ensure product attributes are indexed and mapped correctly.
