Can't perform facet count, as no facet is set Meilisearch

Question

I am trying to do refinement in meilisearch.

const search = instantsearch({
        indexName: "books",
        searchClient: instantMeiliSearch(
            "https://example.com",
            "XXXXXXXXXXX",
        ),
         searchParameters: {
        attributesForFaceting: ['title']
    } 
        });

 instantsearch.widgets.refinementList({
            container: '#brand-list',
            attribute: 'title',
           
          }),

I am keep getting error 'Can't perform facet count, as no facet is set'. I do not know what I am doing wrong, any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

You must add attributesForFacetting to the settings to be able to perform a search with facet filters. Check the dedicated section of the documentation: https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/features/faceted_search.html#setting-up-facets
