Auto-apply facet selections
Currently, you have to select "Apply" for limiting your search with facets. Most websites these days automatically apply filters/facets, making auto-apply something our patrons are used to using.

Yes, this would be so much better.

Just today, I myself failed to notice the need to click the apply button at the bottom of the column, so I definitely think auto-applying the filters would be helpful.

Auto-apply would be so much easier for everyone!

I fully support this enhancement request. Having facets apply immediately upon selection, rather than requiring patrons to scroll and click "Apply," would streamline the search experience and improve usability. This small but impactful change would make the catalog more intuitive and responsive, aligning with modern user expectations.

Please change this because I forget to hit 'apply' myself because the button is not visible without scrolling down.

Many patrons forget to click the "APPLY" or don't know they need to do it. It causes the catalog to be a frustrating and sometimes a useless tool for them.

Please do this! It's an extra and unnecessary step if you're chosen any facets, for patrons, and myself!

I have seen patrons struggle with this, and I've forgotten to click 'Apply' as well... usually thinking it is just taking a while to load results. Automatically applying filters would be helpful!

Yeehaw, send it!

This is a good idea. Because you usually have to scroll down to see the Apply button, a patron may not remember to click on it and assume that it's just taking a long time to auto-load the chosen facets (I've done this myself). This would be a great time-saver.

Auto applying the facets will make the user experience so much easier. Auto-applying limits is the experience that patrons are used to from other ecommerce sites.

Deborah Engel-Di Mauro commented
Yes, please make the application automatic.

Once patrons select filters under "Refine Results" and check marks appear, this should be sufficient to apply the filters and continue with the search. There's no need for an additional "Apply" step.

The Approve button is much too low and most patrons don't see it when selecting their facets, making searching more difficult and leading to frustration. Why require this extra step?
