Feature Spotlight: Searching for facet values | Algolia

The search result a user sees usually hides a lot of underlying data that needs to be utilized for better search functionality. Amazon's search result, for instance, contains data such as department or brand but it is not displayed. This can lead to issues when using faceted search, where the number of options can exceed what can be easily displayed in the user interface. To tackle this problem, Algolia has released a new feature called `searchForFacetValues()` that allows users to explore and use undisplayed facet values, delivering on the promise to help users cut through noise and find what they're looking for. This feature is now available in all API clients using the method searchForFacetValues() and can be contextualized by specifying the query and whole set of filters. It also provides an end-to-end developer experience from the REST API to the UI, making it easy to implement and use.
