 * Would we be able to use FacetWP or Bricks Builder’s filters along with this plugin?
   Or open to other recommendations.

 * Hello Joe, thanks for your question.
 * If you are looking to build a facetted/filtered search solution, Meilisearch 
   and Scry Search are a perfect fit for you. Meilisearch supports [facetted search](https://www.meilisearch.com/products/faceted-search)
   out of the box, and Scry Search has the filters you need to pull data from other
   sources (like the plugins you mentioned), and ship it off to Meilisearch to filter
   your searches.
 * If I understand what you are trying to do here correctly, here is how you would
   go about doing it:
    1. Install the plugin, set up a Meilisearch instance (more on this later), connect
       your Meilisearch instance to the Scry Search plugin, and index your desired 
       post types.
    2. In the latest version of our plugin, you can configure filterable attributes
       on an index. Check the boxes next to the attributes you want to be able to filter
       on in the menu revealed when you click “Configure Index”. Then, save the index
       settings. Make sure you do this for all post types you want to search.
    3. Use the `scry_ms_multi_search_query` hook ([docs](https://github.com/jtgraham38/ScryWP-Search/blob/main/DOCS.md))
       to attach your filters from the other plugin to the Meilisearch query. In your
       callback retrieve your filters from FacetWP or Bricks Builder, and format them
       in a way compatible with Meilisearch as per the [Meilisearch filter expression docs](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/capabilities/filtering_sorting_faceting/advanced/filter_expression_syntax)
       and the multi-search docs. You can use the `$search_query->setFilter([$filters_string]);`
       Please let me know if you need help with this.
 * After doing this, you should be able to run filtered search across multiple indexes
   using Meilisearch and the Scry Search plugin.
 * If you don’t like the idea of getting into the weeds of the code, we also plan
   to release a prebuilt ui element in the next few weeks that users can use to 
   filter their searches, without any plugins like FacetWP required. Would you like
   if I alerted you when that launches in a few weeks?
 * And, if you don’t want to bother setting up and managing Meilisearch yourself,
   we can help you with that over at [scrywp.com](https://scrywp.com/). Let me know
   if you are interested and I can share more.
