As it was previously discussed, current search does not support facets out off result scope (similar to Ebay opposite to Amazone). That means that filters multi-select (OR operation) is not easy in simple way e.g multi-check box selection - since the first selection will collapse the facet to a single value. Though, there is possibility to add OR facet filters in popup (Ebay way). I suggest to proceed with single click (without multi-selection) as it is now and add OR functionality later based on user feedback. "Clear filters" link in the breadcrumb - Doesn't "Search" link provides the same functionality? I would rather have a link with "search text" instead of "Clear filters" with functionality of cleaning query text but leaving filters. > how the search integration with multiproduct will function and look like? > Should we > have a global search (across all products) by default and product choices as > facets, > or would it be better to always limit the search to the "current" product > scope? > (I vote for the former I *think*, haven't thought it through yet) We can set default product filter based on active product and use global search if user navigates directly to global search url - I think, Olemis suggested something like this. But in both cases bhsearch should provide possibility to change search scope to a different product or search through all products e.g. it is common use case when user searches through all products to get assigned tickets (query: "$tickets $my"). I think, we need some kind of product selector with possibility to select "All products". I believe, Joe mentioned http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/ as possible implementation. Cheers, Andrej
