# Customize template search

After you [enable the **Creation from templates** option](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/enable-the-creation-from-templates-option.html "Enable the Creation from templates option") for a particular entity definition, a search page is dynamically created under **Manage > Pages > Creation templates**. These are [highly-configurable pages](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-page.html "Create a page") that give you full control of the template functionality.

These pages are named after the related definition (for example, **Product creation templates**) and contain a **Search** component that determines how a user can search templates when creating a new entity based on a template. You can [configure this **Search** component](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/search.html "Search") to fit your needs, for example, by adding facets or modifying the search output.

## Example - set up template search facets for products

The following example describes how to set up template search facets for users to search templates more easily in the **Creation from template** dialog when creating a new product from a template. In this example, two facets are created, for product category and product status.

To set up these facets:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage**:mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Pages**.
3. On the **Pages** page, expand the selection for **Creation templates**, and then click **Product creation templates**.
4. On the **Product templates** component, enable custom settings by clicking :mdiAccountOutline:, and then click the component name.
5. On the **Functionality** tab, turn on the **Facets** switch.
6. On the **Facets** tab, under the **Standard** tab, click :mdiPlus:.
7. In the **Taxonomy item** drop-down menu, click **Product category (M.PCM.ProductCategory)**.
8. Click **Save**.
9. On the **Facets** tab, under the **Standard** tab, click :mdiPlus: again.
10. This time, in the **Taxonomy item** drop-down menu, click **Product status (M.PCM.ProductStatus)**.
11. Click **Save**.

Now, if you navigate to the **Products** page and create a new product from a template, you can see that the **Template** dialog includes the search facets configured: **PRODUCT STATUS** and **PRODUCT CATEGORY**.
