Category navigation update based on product search

You can configure the Category Navigation widget to respond to product searches.
When the Coordinated Navigation configuration is set to Yes, the category list is updated when a user executes a search. These updates are made:
  • The categories are organized in descending order by the number of products in the category that matched the search terms.
  • The number of products in each category that match the search is displayed next to the category name.
  • When users select a facet in the Product Filter widget, the number of products in each category is updated to show how many match the selected facet.
  • When a user clicks a category, the search results are narrowed to display only the products in the selected category that match the search criteria.

When the Coordinated Navigation configuration is set to No, the category list is not updated based on a product search or product filter. The categories are always organized in descending order by the total number of products in each category. The total number of products in each category is always displayed next to the category name.
