Narrow your search

[sherlyn]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if it's possible to emulate the "Narrow Your Search"
results panel when using the XML search method? We would really like
to add this to our custom-built front end...

Sorry if this is already in the docs somewhere, but I couldn't find
any mention of it.

Thanks,
sherlyn

I don't think there is a step by step but with a little playing around
it should be possible to do.

The feature you are referring to is clustering:
http://code.google.com/apis/searchappliance/documentation/60/admin_searchexp/ce_understanding.html#h3drc

That doc should point you in the right direction. you will likely need
to have a look at the raw xslt on the GSA to see what it does and just
mimic that in your own front end.

Hope this helps.

Brian
