Member	john.murray-zespri - 5/5/2010 11:53:40 PM Faceted search ? Has anybody succeeded in customising search to implement faceted searching ? In theory, Lucene supports this but how would you go about hooking into this feature ?

RE:Faceted search ?

Hi,

If I understand what “Faceted search” means correctly, you can achieve this in Kentico CMS with smart search filters because you can use smart search filter to order the smart search results or to filter the results according custom conditions:

RE:Faceted search ?

Hello,

I think that smart search filter is too simple and does not cover the functionality of a faceted search. More details on faceted search can be found here

Since kentico is using lucene search engine, it would be very useful to take advantage of powerful search techniques like facets, did you mean, find similar, etc.

Do you plan to implement or embed such functions on future releases?
