 -   **Application URL**: Define the URL for the search application. In the majority of cases this can be left as the default.
 -   **Number of records per page**: Define the options to determine the number of records shown per page of results, and the default.
--   **Type of facet**: Define the set of search facets should be visible in the search page. The default is `details` but `manager` can be used to show the facets more normally used on the editor page.
--   **Default search**: Define a default filter for the search.
+-   **Facet configuration**: See [Configuring faceted search](../../customizing-application/configuring-faceted-search.md)). The configuration are defined using JSON following Elasticsearch API (See <https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket.html>.

The list of facet names can be found at <https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/master/web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config-summary.xml#L82>. For example, to include the Topic Category filter above the search results, the administrator would add `topicCat` as the facet field to display.
--   **List of facets**: This can be used to restrict the facets available for searching. For example, adding `topicCat` to this list would restrict the search options to `Topic Category` only. This can be useful for restricting the search options in a sub-portal or external web application. To add additional facets to the list, select the blue `+` button.

 -   **Type of sort options**: Define the different ways by which a user can sort a set of search results. The **default sort by option** is shown below. Note that to search for example on `title` in alphabetical order it is necessary to set the order to `reverse`.
 -   **List of templates for search results**: This section allows the administrator to configure templates for the layout of the search results. The default is `grid` whereas `list` is the default for the editor board.
