✨ Main Features

🗂️ Category Merchandising

The Category Merchandising feature allows you to dynamically populate your categories using a rule engine.
No more manual category management — products are automatically assigned in real time based on the rules you define.

You retain full control with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to reorder products and highlight your top-performing items.

🧩 Facet Merchandising

The Facet Merchandising feature lets you fully customize the display of layered navigation filters for an optimized user experience.
You can:

• 🔃 Reorder facets as needed
• 🔍 Enable a search field within facet options
• 🔎 Enable Fuzzy Search within facet options for approximate matching
• ➕ Limit the number of visible options with a “Show more” toggle

Perfect for keeping navigation clean and user-friendly, even in attribute-rich catalogs.

🖥️ Faceted Frontend Experience

The module offers a fully dynamic and responsive frontend interface powered by Knockout.js, designed to enhance layered navigation usability and speed.

Key features include:

• 🎚️ Price slider with real-time filtering
• ☑️ Multi-select checkboxes for flexible attribute filtering
• 🔍 Search within facet options to quickly find relevant values
• 🔎 Fuzzy search within facet options for approximate matching powered by Fuse.js
