Feature: Implement faceted product search as a dedicated page #29
Description
Feature: Faceted product search as a dedicated page
Context
The project currently implements quick product search using Vendure Product Search in a modal. This works well as a fast, lightweight discovery tool.
Vendure also provides a faceted search API, which is a different use case. Faceted search benefits from being implemented as a dedicated page rather than a modal, so it can support:
- URL-driven filters and pagination
- Link sharing and bookmarking
- Proper SSR and SEO indexing
- Clear separation from quick / modal search
Goal
Introduce a standalone faceted search page using Vendure’s faceted search capabilities, while keeping the existing quick-search modal unchanged.
This page should be suitable for full product discovery and navigation, not just instant lookup.

Notes
- The existing quick-search modal should remain as-is.
- Faceted search should live on its own route/page.
- URLs should reflect applied filters where possible.
- Implementation should follow the project’s SEO-first and Pinia-based state management patterns.
