Feature Deep-Dive

Filters That Think Ahead

Static sidebar filters slow buyers down. BRADsearch's dynamic filters surface the most relevant facets as customers type directly in the search panel, before they even see the results page.

Filters Adapt to Each Query in Real Time

Customer types: "Makita drill"
Voltage: 12V / 18V / 36V Motor: Brushless / Brushed Battery: 3Ah / 5Ah Chuck: 10mm / 13mm In Stock
Customer types: "work boots"
Size: 38-48 Safety: S1 / S2 / S3 Material: Leather / Composite Brand Price Range
Customer types: "running jacket"
Gender: Men / Women / Unisex Colour Size: XS-3XL Waterproof Brand

Different queries surface different filters - automatically. No configuration per query type required.

Six Dynamic Filter Features

Real-Time Filter Surfacing
As customers type, the most relevant filters for that specific query appear instantly. The filter set updates with each keystroke - adapting to the search intent in real time without any page reload.
Category & Brand Quick-Access
Category and brand suggestions appear alongside product results in the autocomplete panel. Buyers can jump directly to the right section of your store in a single click - without filtering the full result set.
Custom Attribute Filters
Any product attribute becomes a searchable, filterable dimension. Colour, material, size, specification, custom fields - if it's in your catalogue, it can become a filter. No hardcoded filter structure required.
Smart Filter Ordering
The most relevant filters for each query are ranked first - not alphabetically, not by a hardcoded global order. "Makita drill" surfaces voltage and motor type first. "Running jacket" surfaces gender, colour, and size first.
Mobile-Optimised Filter UI
Touch-friendly filter panel designed for mobile shoppers. Filter interactions work with swipe and tap. The panel layout adapts for smaller screens without sacrificing functionality.
Multi-Select Filters
Buyers can select multiple values within a filter - blue OR green, 18V OR 36V - without resetting other filters. Standard ecommerce behaviour that surprises how many search solutions still don't implement correctly.
