Facets allows users to search within an existing result set. For example, an end-user conducts a search for luggage on a commerce site, then refines their search by color, price, or material. Facets are organized hierarchically, with “child facets” allowing users to refine their search at additional levels.
For example, a merchandiser at a luggage commerce site could configure product properties such as color, price, and material. When an end-user conducts a search, they can refine the results using those properties to find exactly what they’re looking for. For detailed information on facets, see the ATG Merchandising User Guide.
Use the Search Workbench to specify which attributes to use for refinement opportunities in search result presentation.
