Search Facet Filters Admin Panel: Map Solr Schema Fields to List, Slider, and Date Widgets
The admin panel has a new Search Facet Filters configuration section. It reads your Solr schema, shows you every indexed field, and lets you turn the ones you choose into filter widgets on your search page.
01 Discover, then map
Rather than typing field names, you pick from what the index actually contains — the section discovers all indexed fields via the Solr schema. Each field you select is then mapped to the widget that suits its data.
| Widget | Suits |
|---|---|
list | Fields with a set of repeated values, shown as selectable options |
slider | Numeric fields filtered over a range |
date range | Date fields filtered between two points in time |
Filters are drag-to-reorder, so the order visitors see is the order you set.
02 Facets in embedded search
Embeddable search supports facets as well. Add data-sidebar="on" to the embed and the filter sidebar appears alongside the results.
