+_Child route of the [settings route](/reference/api/settings.md)._
+
+This route allows you to configure the faceting settings for an index.
+
+Faceting settings can also be updated directly through the [global settings route](/reference/api/settings.md#update-settings) along with the other settings.
+
+To learn more about filtering and faceting, refer to our [dedicated guide](/learn/advanced/filtering_and_faceted_search.md).
+
+::: warning
+Updating the settings means overwriting the default settings of Meilisearch. You can reset to default values using the `DELETE` routes.

+## Get faceting settings
+
+<RouteHighlighter method="GET" route="/indexes/{index_uid}/settings/faceting"/>
+
+Get the faceting settings of an index. The index [`uid`](/learn/core_concepts/indexes.md#index-uid) is required.
+
+### Example
+
+<CodeSamples id="get_faceting_settings_1" />
+
+#### Response: `200 OK`
+
+```json
+{
+  "maxValuesPerFacet": 100
+}
+```
+
+### Returned fields
+
+#### `maxValuesPerFacet`
+
+Maximum number of facet values returned for each facet.
+
+## Update faceting settings
+
+<RouteHighlighter method="PATCH" route="/indexes/{index_uid}/settings/faceting"/>
+
+Partially update the faceting settings for an index. The index [`uid`](/learn/core_concepts/indexes.md#index-uid) is required.
+
+### Body
+
+#### `maxValuesPerFacet`
+
+**Type:** integer
+**Default value:** `100`
+
+Configure the maximum number of facet values returned for each facet. Values are alphabetically sorted.
+
+For example, suppose a query's search results contain a total of three values for a `colors` facet: `blue`, `green`, and `red`. If you set `maxValuesPerFacet` to `2`, Meilisearch will only return `blue` and `green` in the response body's `facetDistribution` object.
+
+::: note
+Setting `maxValuesPerFacet` to a high value might negatively impact performance.
