Facets
Faceting is a method of high-performance filtering that uses multiple dimensions of attribute values as search criteria. Faceted search is similar, but considerably “smarter” than the standard layered navigation. The list of available filters is determined by the filterable attributes of products returned in the search results.
Any defined facet may be used as a URL parameter and results will be filtered based on the parameter values: http://yourstore.com?brand=acme&color=red.
Faceting requirements
The category and product attribute requirements for faceting are similar to the filterable attributes used for layered navigation. The storefront properties of each attribute must be set to filterable (with results).
Live Search supports up to:
- 100 attributes configured as facets
- 50 sortable attributes
- 200 filterable attributes
- 200 searchable attributes
