Faceted Search problem with subcategories of the same name

[atanthreou]

I am using Prestashop 1.7.6.5 with Faceted Search 3.7.0.

(1) Assume the following categories' tree structure:

    Category "Cat_First"
        SubCategory "Name_A"
            Sub-Subcategory "Type_1"
            Sub-Subcategory "Type_2"

    Category "Cat_Second"  
        SubCategory "Name_B"
            Sub-Subcategory "Type_1"
            Sub-Subcategory "Type_2"

(2) Faceted Search filter behaves as follows:

On selecting (checking) "Type_1" of SubCategory "Name_A" (or "Name_B"), it produces/displays all products of "Type_1" of both SubCategories "Name_A" and "Name_B". Respectively for "Type_2", i.e. on selecting (checking) "Type_2" of SubCategory "Name_A" (or "Name_B"), we receive all products of "Type_2" of both SubCategories "Name_A" and "Name_B".  

(3) Is the search based on category name (and not on category id)? ... Is this standard behavior?  

Thank you.

I just realized this issue and unfortunately I understand this is the way it works
