As discussed in the Using Cartridges chapter, a category page is displayed when a query includes only a Category dimension value. If a query includes either a search term or a value for a dimension other than Category, Commerce Reference Store displays a browse page (search results). This is true even if the query also includes a Category dimension value.
Both pages display available facets in the left column. Selecting a facet value on either page refines the search, and the results are then displayed on a browse page.
Commerce Reference Store defines a number of facets for guided navigation, based on dimension values stored in the MDEX. The table below lists the facets, the names of the Endeca dimensions they correspond to, and the ATG properties that the dimensions are created from. Note that the ATG property names are relative to the product item type, which is the top-level item in the definition file of the ProductCatalogOutputConfig component.

The Category facet (the product.category dimension) is hierarchical. All of the other facets are non-hierarchical dimensions.
