| Description |
The EEA Faceted Navigation (FacetedNav) gives you a
very powerful interface to improve search within large collections of items.
No programming skills are required by the website manager to configure the
faceted navigation interface, `configuration is done TTW `_.
It lets you gradually select and explore different facets (metadata/properties)
of the site content and narrow down you search quickly and dynamically.
On the contrary, plone collections are static, in a way that the site admin
decides the search criteria and the end user is not able to further sort or
filter the presented results.
FacetedNav is fully customizable, site admin may decide that some criteria
(facets) must have fixed values while other may be presented as filter options
to the web visitor.
FacetedNav may very well replace the standard collection content type, since
it covers same functionality and it adds a lot more features.
FacetedNav can also be used as an advanced search for your site.
