Drupal Search API module with taxonomy filters

Question

I have three content types with a taxonomy Term field "Topics". I want to create a Drupal search with Search API module. For the users I want to expose a search textfield and Topics as Dropdown so that they can select taxonomy topics and search for a keyword in that Topic. But with the search api module I am not seeing an option to expose my taxonomy Term field as drop down field. Is there a way I can do that?

Answer 1

check Facets API module and Taxonomy Facets

Answer 2

Make sure your Taxonomies are indexed from your index FIELDS tab.Then you can create exposed filters on taxonomies in your view on index."Taxonomy Facets" module also can help.

Answer 3

Facet API suggested in other answer is for Drupal 7. The Facets module in Drupal 8 enables your website with faceted searching abilities. Facets also supports Drupal 9.

You can display your facets in blocks.
