How to get link for filtered results

Hi,

What’s the best way for me to get a link for query results with a facet applied?

I’m creating a banner for a client that says something like “Have questions about our recent merger? Click here” and I need it to link to FAQs, with a facet applied called MergerFAQ= yes.

I created a saved filter for these particular merger FAQs, but I don’t know if that is relevant in this scenario. I need a usable link of the results page, with the filter applied.

We’d love for you to try it out and let us know how it works for you.

Thanks,
