Filtering
Filters use document fields to establish filtering criteria.
To use a document field as a filter, you must first add its attribute to the filterableAttributes index setting.
This step is mandatory and cannot be done at search time. Filters need to be properly processed and prepared by Meilisearch before they can be used.
Updating filterableAttributes requires recreating the entire index. This may take a significant amount of time depending on dataset size.
