Feature request: allow the use of the native Layered Navigation in Search #15

Closed heldchen closed 8 years ago

Boxalino should provide a mode that simulates a native magento Product collection with proper supports the native Layered Navigation filtering.

currently, only manually filter facets are supported which try (but hardly succeed) to replicate the native look & feel. I think it would benefit boxalino greatly if it could be marketed as a drop-in replacement of the default search, and just feed the data into the standard magento search result collections.

Such a mode wold not prevent additional search result enhancements like top filters or even a self-defined left filters like the current implementation if the customer chooses to. It would allow the leveraging of existing magento functionality and extensions.

Our customer currently has 100+ attributes defined on the products that can & should be used in the search results. Duplicating their search-related configurations for the current "boxalino facet filters" is just not feasible.
