It is especially useful when there are many different types of criteria, such as price-range, maximum attendees, duration, themes, which are somehow linked to one another with many article, product or data entries.
Especially useful: 1. when there are many criteria in different fields 2. similar data entries with subtle differences (hard to scan or filter requiring advanced user knowledge) 3. if you have a very specific set of requirements for a user (e.g. behaves like a non-linear wizard) I am using faceted navigation for a client who has products with many criteria, also including 'themes', which can be expanded and interconnected endlessly. As you point out yourself, it may be overkill with only 2 facets. But if it's about combining parameters, the technique itself could be interesting. There's a good webshop in the Netherlands using multilevel facets which is an interesting approach. You can remove breadcrumbs if you've dug deep enough. http://www.bol.com/nl/l/boeken-engels/engelse-boeken-academic-study-tot-euro-20-2008/N/2900 1283 1285 4854 5260 7373 3139/index.html . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
