Search Facet Filters Admin Panel: Map Solr Schema Fields to List, Slider, and Date Widgets

· Control Panel · New Feature · All updates

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.

WidgetSuits
listFields with a set of repeated values, shown as selectable options
sliderNumeric fields filtered over a range
date rangeDate 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.
