Description
Follow-up to #3672.
A live sweep of all 121 pre-restructure /learn/* and /guides/* URLs (as of the 2026-02-14 tree) found exactly one URL with no redirect:
https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/filtering_and_sorting/facets_vs_filters returns a hard 404. It is the only old path absent from config/redirects.json; the other 120 all 308-redirect to a live page.
Suggested fix: add a redirect to the page that now covers facets vs filters (likely under capabilities/filtering_and_sorting/ or the faceted search page in the new IA).
GSC shows no recorded impressions for this URL in 2026, so the traffic impact is minimal, but it is the last gap keeping the old URL space from being fully covered.
