My client recently went live, and I noticed that facets is being forced into the real estate above the answers results (on desktop view) - rather than spilling over onto the side (which I think looks a bit better).
This is likely the case because there’s a container wrapping Answers with a max-width. You can usually see this via inspect element, and unchecking that css rule. Instructing the client to remove that rule will fix this.
Separately, we have a fix coming out in the next theme that will prevent the filters from ever floating to the top. It would show the filters in the collapsed state (you’d see a link that would click to expose the filters overlaying the results).
I would recommend reaching out to the client to remove the width constraint. Let us know if this does the trick!
