| Faceted search | Choose faceted search when users need to progressively narrow a large set by multiple attributes. | Applying or removing a facet updates the result count and preserves visible applied filters. | GOV.UK publishing guidance describes search facets that help users drill deeper into search results and create a smaller list to scan. |
| Filter panel | Choose a filter panel when users need grouped controls for narrowing the current result set by several criteria. | Each filter category has a clear label and contains controls appropriate to the value type, such as checkboxes, radios, ranges, date fields, or text fields. | GOV.UK Publishing guidance documents search facets, result-side filtering, auto-refresh behavior, and mobile accordion treatment. |
