Как сделать каталог с поиском, фильтрами, фасетами и семантическим поиском

Сделать поиск по каталогу легко. Гораздо сложнее — сделать каталог, который полезен не только на первом запросе.Это демо как раз об этом. Здесь мы используем небольшой каталог настольных игр, но сам сценарий знаком многим: пользователь вводит что-то полузабытое, ошибается в написании, сужает выдачу по ограничениям, листает дальше, открывает карточку, а потом хочет увидеть «что-то похожее», не начиная всё заново.
