select a facet and immediately change the display to the facet that is relevant to the selected information

For example, let's say a facet is the "sports.types_of_sports" field, and it offers the following options:

[ ] basketball

[ ] baseball

[ ] football

And the neighboring facet is the "sports.equipment" field, which offers the following options:

[ ] Hockey Sticks

[ ] baseball bat

[ ] racket

The text to be searched describes various types of sports and the equipment used. If "baseball" is checked in "sports.types_of_sports," and the results are filtered accordingly, the facet values for "basketball" and "football" will no longer be displayed. At the same time, in "sports.equipment," the relevant "baseball bat" will be displayed, while "Hockey Sticks" and "racket" will not be shown. This allows for easy filtering when searching using multiple facets.

Currently, when entering a word in the faceted search window, it behaves in that manner, but it doesn't seem to do so when selecting a facet.
