The available search column keys are returned in the `search_columns` field of [`PaginatedResponse`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.PaginatedResponse). Use them to populate a column picker in the UI, or to validate `search_column` values on the client side:

A direct column `Post.title` produces `"title"`. A relationship tuple `(Post.author, User.username)` produces `"author__username"`.

### Faceted search
!!! info "Added in `v1.2`"
Declare `facet_fields` on the CRUD class to return distinct column values alongside paginated results. This is useful for populating filter dropdowns or building faceted search UIs.
Facet fields use the same syntax as `searchable_fields` — direct columns or relationship tuples:

Facet filtering is built into the consolidated params dependencies. When `filter=True` (the default), each facet field is exposed as a query parameter and values are collected into `filter_by` automatically:

session: SessionDep,

Use `filter_by` to pass the client's chosen filter values directly — no need to build SQLAlchemy conditions by hand. Any unknown key raises [`InvalidFacetFilterError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.InvalidFacetFilterError).

Keys use `__` as a separator for the full relationship chain. A direct column `User.status` produces `"status"`. A relationship tuple `(User.role, Role.name)` produces `"role__name"`. A deeper chain `(User.role, Role.permission, Permission.name)` produces `"role__permission__name"`.
