How can I add more filters to my Search & Discovery App?

Topic summary

Core issue: Shopify’s free Search & Discovery App enforces a global limit of 25 filters across the storefront, not per collection, which constrains merchants needing more granular filtering.

Goal: Add more than 25 filters (one store needs ~50) while keeping the existing site design intact. Merchants want to avoid third‑party apps that make sweeping theme or UX changes.

Context: “Filters” are faceted search options (e.g., size, color, material) shown on collection/search pages to help shoppers narrow products by attributes.

Status: No solution or workaround is provided in the thread. No decisions or actions have been taken.

Open question: Is there any way to exceed the 25‑filter cap using Shopify’s native tools or a minimally invasive app that preserves the current storefront look?

No images, code, or attachments are central to the discussion.

The Search & Discovery App which is free from Shopify only allows you to have 25 filters on your web site. I wrongly assumed the 25 filters was a limit per collection. I am trying to find a solution to add more filters. There are Apps out there, but they make sweeping changes to your store. I want my site to look the way it looks. I just want more filters. Is there any way to just add more filters?
