Such as For the Home &gt; Shop by Category &gt; Coffee Makers? I like that you can do multi-selects with a category, and collapse facets you don't want to look at. When you select an item, just a few parts of the page are redrawn. One line on the page allows you to remove facets. You can view the results data in several different ways. When you hover over a facet you can scroll through it (a problem with the "more" link in many implementations is that it makes it harder to understand the whole data set and harder to enforce visual comparisons between facets). You access the facet nav interface when you browse OR search. Not sure whether this applies in your situation, but here is my journey... I have been looking at database records from pubmed.gov using an application where the home screen is made up entirely of facets corresponding to author, journal title, publication year, descriptor terms, grant agency, record status - almost everything that can be </pre> Dan Wendling 2013-05-13T11:38:52 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.sigia/23522 <pre>Hi, Looking for great examples of faceted nav/search.
