Multi level taxonomy category implementation in azure search

Currently i'm working with Microsoft Azure Search ( PaaS ) services for my product selector implementation.

I made research on azure search & thought of using collections concept but i'm stopped at multi-level hirerchy rendering.

Let me brief about my problem, we have aggregated product data ( meaning multiple aggregator of products ).

In our database having diffrent levels of products hirerchy like 2,3,4 and 8 levels ( taxonomy categorizstion ).

For example

Note: Last level is product & we don't know the how many levels product hirerchy limited to.

Problem Statement:

In Front End, on selection of datasource we have to call API to render in frontend.

Here, every datasource is independent of hirerchy levels. ( i.e first datasource may have 5 levels, second one may have 8 levels )

Now problem here is user may select any level by simply searching word ( like Facewash). in other way, top-bottom / bottom-top approach.

If i use the azure search collection approach then i'm not sure of result with reference to level ( i can find only product level ).

can someone suggest best approach to solve this issue ? Thanks in advance.

We don't have a built-in way to handle multi-level taxonomies yet, but you could try the following approach proposed by one of our users: Multi-level taxonomy facets in Azure Search. To render different taxonomies for different data source types, you could use filters. The following article explains how to use the Filter and Facet APIs together: How to implement faceted navigation in Azure Search.
