I'm working on what might be a similar project - it's a combo of filtering, sorting and faceted search (which could be considered filtering). Here's a bunch of links, hope they help. You'll have to start some of these by doing a search, but you should get some good ideas from the various treatments of results pages, and different ways of manipulating large data sets.
Also, a few of these have interesting combinations of faceted search and tag clouds. http://www.sportsauthority.com/shoeFinder/ http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/ http://www.kayak.com/?uselast=true (Do a search and check out the filters on the left) http://www.endless.com/homepage/ref=topnav_gw_b (Same as kayak) Faceted search: http://www.shopzilla.com/ http://www.properazzi.com/ http://www.nines.org/collex http://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/ http://www.buzzillions.com/ Flamenco search engine demos: http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/demos.html On Nov 28, 2007 9:39 PM, Matthew Nish-Lapidus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on a project where users will have potentially large lists > of items, sometimes personal collections, sometimes search results. > Each item in the list will have a number of fields, but not always > displayed in discreet columns, some of the data will be merged into > sentence form and some in shared columns. > > I want users to be able to sort and filter the lists and I'm looking > for some good example of complex sort and filter interfaces. eBay was > a good starting point, but I'd like a few other examples. > > Does anybody have any good live examples? or documentation of any good > patterns for this? > > Thanks! > > -- > Matt Nish-Lapidus > email/gtalk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ++ > LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mattnl > Home: http://www.nishlapidus.com > ________________________________________________________________ > *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* > February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA > Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ > > ________________________________________________________________ > Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! > To post to this list .......
