We have child template of Cassiopea running on Joomla 5.3.2. PHP 8.2. 

We have the menu item: "Interviews" set as   JFilters » Results

On this page we use prefilter to show only Articles of the category "Interviews". And it works perfectly. 

We have filtering module on the page (this page Interviews is set as result page for filtering)  that allows us to filter results and it works perfectly as well.

Now we want to enhance the filtering with a smart search module that allows to search on this page but only within this "Interview" category. I created the Smart Search module and set field "Set ItemID" to the same "Interviews" menu item (not sure if it needed)

I switched on the option  "Combine Filters with Smart Search" in the settings of filtering module, but search is still shows the results from all possible categories. 

How can achieve that the smart search module shows only the results from this predefined category Interviews?
From the description from docs, it should be somehow possible if I get it right. What I am doing wrong? :)

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Thank you very much, I will take a look on documentation of the smart search. Just out of curiosity, what does the setting "Combine Filters with Smart Search" actually do then? 

We solved our problem with the search on the filter result page. 

The filtering of smart search module didn't help, cause the results of the search were placed on the smart search result page and it did break our layout, that we created for jfilter results page. So we made an template override for mod_jfilters_filters and placed an input field with name q there. So we were able to "simulate" search on the jfitlers result page as we wanted. 
Thanks :)
