# Disable facets for a search source

Disable facets for one or more search sources by adding a system property. Once disabled, the search source does not display search facets in the Faceted Search widget on the sp\_search page. You can disable facets for simple or advanced search sources.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin or sp\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Enter `sys_properties.list` in the Application Navigator to navigate to the System Properties table.

2.  Click **New**.

3.  In the **Name** field, enter `glide.service_portal.disable_facets_for_search_sources`.

4.  In the **Value** field, enter a comma-separated list of search source Sys IDs to disable facets for.

    Do not include spaces. For example, `c6170ae86721220023c82e08f585efe6,c96eb1686721220023c82e08f585efff`.
