# Disable features

Disabling features allows faster queries

## Parameters

A single **`disable`** parameter allows disabling specific features, based on their name.

| **Name**      | Type    | Is Required ? | Default value |
| ------------- | ------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| **`disable`** | `array` | ✖             | empty array   |

### `disable`

An array of JSON objects, each representing a feature to disable during the query resolution. Each object contains the following properties:

| Property   | Type     | Description                    |
| ---------- | -------- | ------------------------------ |
| **`name`** | `string` | Name of the feature to disable |

#### Available features

| Feature      | Feature name | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------ | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Faceting** | `"facet"`    | <p>Prevent XO Search from grouping results by facets, even if some facets are defined inside the XO Console.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> If the query contains facets to filter by, these filters will still be applied.</p> |

#### Notes

* Currently, only the `"facet"` feature can be disabled.

## Response

All responses from XO Search uses the same format.\
Check [API Reference](/product-discovery/resources/archived-pages/introduction/api.md) page for a more detailed description of this format.
