Hi there, I have the pro version and want to be able to filter results based on the Product Category. I added it in settings to the "Add fields to quick search" field as "product_cat:Product Category" (which is correct based on my taxonomy with Woocommerce) and it shows up in the filter dropdown, but when I try to filter using this new Product Category option, I do not get any change in the displayed products (tried the various LIKE, EXACT etc options with no change). I was certain to use the exact name of the product category, too.

Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Tried searching other posts here but wasn't able to find a solution

Thank you!

Sean

Ok thank you. I figured out a workaround using Filter profiles and loading in the SKUs for each category I wanted separated out.
