Understanding Custom Facets in Magento Search

What is a custom facet? How does it work?

Custom Facets or Custom Pages are masks for the filtered pages. When a user applies a specific filter or combination of filters, a Custom Facet is applied to change the content of the page.

Here is an example category page with a simple filter by size applied:

      

     

Same page with a Custom Facet — updated title, added a CMS block in the top of the page:

What content can be modified with the help of a Custom Facet:

1. Title and description of the page;
   
2. Images;
   
3. Top and Bottom CMS blocks;
   
4. Meta info, such as Meta Title, Meta Description, Meta Keywords, and the Canonical URL.
   

Facets can be applied to a specific category on one or several store views. This way you can broaden or narrow down the application of the Custom Facet.
