cannot setSettings in vue

I would like to use optionalFilters https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-parameters/optionalFilters/?language=javascript for which I need to set attributesForFaceting but there’s no documentation on how to do this. https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-parameters/attributesForFaceting/

1. This throws an error 400 Unknown parameter: attributesForFaceting

<ais-configure
  :hitsPerPage="8"
  v-bind="searchParameters"
  attributesForFaceting="brand"
/>

1. trying to pass it through search client parameters doesn’t work

searchClient: algoliasearch(
  'ABCDEFGH',
  '01234567890123456789',
  {attributesForFaceting:'brandName'}
),

1. I added an ais-refinement-list component with the attribuets brandName. Nothing
2. I set the attributesForFaceting in the dashbaord configuation https://www.algolia.com/apps/VDJXSOGAAQ/explorer/configuration/INDEXNAME/facets Still cannot get results to work with optionalFilters

These are my optional filters:

searchParameters: {
  optionalFilters: 'brandName:SOMEBRANDNAME'
},

No hits fullfill the criteria of brandName:SOMEBRANDNAME even though there’s many entries in my indice that have should.

The same set up works with official codesandbox.io example instant_search

I followed the trophy at the beginning, before setting optionalParameters, and then spent hours trying to solve this issue. Maybe ranking should never overwrite other paramters, or there could be a warning message displayed. I really tried my best before posting here

For future reference, issues like this are best debugged by looking in the dashboard, where you can see the “trophy”, which will explain why records are sorted as they are. There you can see that in your previous case, the ranking always came down to “sortIndex”, which shouldn’t be the tie-break, so it should come after other criteria.
