05:58 PMI wanted to emphasize the fact that you don't need a search bar per se to use Typesense, which is why I skipped adding it to the UI. I can may be add a small search bar on the top right so it doesn't steal attention

06:02 PMYou can do this yes, but if you want to implement it without a page refresh or creating a new page (where you'd instantiate the required filters based on the page), then you'd have to create a new custom widget in Instantsearch, that looks at the results for a particular query and then based on the attributes returned in the results, the widget would have to issue a new call to Typesense this time with facet_by set to those fields and then render widgets for the facetted attributes returned.

03:15 AMtypo_tokens_threshold value and that causes actual records fetched to vary slightly between the search query used to populate results vs the brand facet counts.This has been a bit of a surprising behaviour in some cases, so we are going make the default value of
typo_tokens_threshold to just 1 to address it.Jul 05, 2021 (26 months ago)
