Eureka: Facets

Prev Next

Eureka's faceted search helps you refine your search results using predefined facets. Each facet represents a list of product/content attribute values in search results, defined by one attribute of the product/content. Facets represent aggregations of search results based on attribute values. 

Faceting is similar to filtering, but facets are generated dynamically based on search results, while filters are static lists usually fixed on websites or store pages.

Eureka enables you to define your facets, select their style, and sort them based on your needs. The available facet types for attributes are:

  1. To customize your search facet, navigate to Eureka > Settings > Facets.

  1. Click the Add Facet button on the Eureka listing page to create a facet.

  1. On the drawer menu, select:

  • Product attribute that you want to enable as a facet

  • Label of the facet that you want to display on your page

  • Faceting style that you want to display. Eureka provides you with a set of predefined facet styles depending on the product attribute (rating, price, category) or depending on the type of the product attribute (number, text, boolean)

You can see below the available facet types for attributes:
