<p>A faceted search is one that allows you to drill down by various fields: price, size, colour, shipping location etc. It complements a free text search rather than replaces it.</p>
<p>Using this plugin, you can create a faceted search interface for your pages, posts, or any other custom post type. You can add “facets” for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Taxonomies</li>
<li>Custom fields</li>
<li>Dates (day, week, month or year)</li>
<li>Author</li>
</ul>
<p>These facets are widgets that can be easily changed in the admin interface.</p>
<p>You can have multiple search pages for different post types. If your WordPress installation uses multi-site, you can search across the different sites.</p>

Create a faceted search interface for any post type.

<h3>How to replace in DB?</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Start by generating a report</strong>: Select the <strong>Dry Run</strong> option located at the bottom of the settings section.</li>
<li><strong>Review the report</strong>: A modal window will appear, showing the specific rows and data that will be affected by the replacement.</li>
<li><strong>Proceed if satisfied</strong>: If the preview looks accurate and matches what you intend to replace, simply close the report window, uncheck <strong>Dry Run</strong>, and click the <strong>Find & Replace</strong> button.</li>
<li><strong>⚠️ Attention:</strong> Please carefully review the dry run report before making any changes. Once replacements are applied to the database, they <strong>cannot be undone</strong>. The PRO version includes an undo feature, but it must be installed before performing the replacement.</li>
<li><strong>✅ Important Tip:</strong> Always run a dry report first to ensure your search term and replacement are correct. If anything looks off, adjust the keyword and repeat the process until the preview shows the desired results.</li>
