Release Highlights

By default the Category Facet widget collects the categories of the matching results from every vocabulary in the site and displays them in a flat list. With the enhancements, you gain new display and filtering behaviors.

With a new Display Template, it becomes possible to display categories under their vocabulary by selecting the Vocabulary Layout in the Category Facet's configuration screen.

With the new Select Vocabularies configuration, users can select the vocabularies whose categories you wish to display through the configuration screen of the Category Facet. With this behavior you can provide a powerful search facet experience: see the example here for one use case.
