Hi,

indeed, this looks nice. However I'm not sure yet whether I preferred the
side-column grouping of facets or this organization. Maybe you could
display the filters like this, but in a side column? :-)

But in any case this looks good. I'd like to see examples with more
fleshed-out results (pages with longer titles, in other languages, with
more sample text...) to get a better feel of real usage.

Thanks,

Guillaume
