Faceted Search

Top  Previous  Next

Faceted search is similar to faceted navigation, the only difference is that initial set of topics shown in the results is restricted, usually as the result of a text search.

To specify the initial set of topics there is a RestrictResults property on the FSO (of type List<int>) which can be used. One simple approach to implement faceted search is using Lucene.NET or the Microsoft Indexing Service

All that is required, from technical perspective, is a way to map a search result to a topic ID. This can often by done by embedding the TMCore topic ID or subject identifier of a content item directly within the search index. This is shown in the demonstration package.
