Adjusting Filters on Magento 2

You can view and adjust filters in the Searchanise control panel > Filters > Filter list section.

Adding filters

The filters are added automatically based on product details (price, category) and filterable product attributes after re-indexation. The filterable product attributes are product attributes that have the Use in Layered Navigation setting active.

Re-indexation occurs automatically, but you can also trigger it manually by clicking the Force re-indexation button in the App’s Dashboard section.

To  hide or rename the filters, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Filters > Filter list > Filters tab.
2. Click the pencil icon next to the filter you want to edit.
3. Go to the Settings tab.
4. Edit the title in the Filter title field or change the status in the Status field.
5. Save the changes.

That’s it. You can now go to the storefront if you’d like to ensure the filters’ titles are up-to-date.
