# Can Faceted Navigation Create Too Many URLs for Search Engines?

Our store lets shoppers combine filters for color, size, brand, and price. That makes the catalog easier to browse, but it also creates a huge number of possible URLs, including combinations with only a handful of products.

How should we decide which **[faceted navigation URLs](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/117780/should-i-block-faceted-navigation-urls-or-let-search-engines-crawl-them)** search engines should be able to crawl or index? I’m especially interested in the trade-offs between useful filtered landing pages and low-value combinations.
