Official statement
Google does not differentiate between category pages, filter pages, search pages, or tag pages. What matters is the content present on the URL: information, clear titles, context, product lists. If filter pages are not indexed, first check the technical aspects (crawl blocking, noindex, canonical) and then look into the internal link structure.
