FlowHunt (vendor glossary) — faceted search plain-language: filter by multiple attributes simultaneously vs single-attribute filter

Summary

Claim: Faceted search, plainly: filtering across multiple independent attributes/facets simultaneously — e.g., filtering items that are under $50, red, size medium, AND a specific brand all at once, versus a simple filter that handles one attribute at a time.

Source: FlowHunt glossary, "Faceted Search," undated (accessed June 2026).

Confidence: Industry-consensus. Note: this is a vendor glossary; corroborated by ScienceDirect — faceted search definition: progressive refinement by independent facets/attributes and Nielsen Norman Group — faceted search refines a large content set; controls + results displayed simultaneously.

Why this matters for Candid: Plain-language phrasing useful when explaining to non-technical SMB clients why a multi-facet filter is meaningfully different from a basic dropdown.
