Wow, this looks great. Thanks for this Koji!

Re: Can we provide context dependent faceted navigation from SOLR search results
After posting this question I found this discussion http://www.nabble.com/Hierarchical-Facets--to7135353.html. So what I did was adapting the scheme with 3 fields; cat, subcat,subsubcat and hardcoded the hierarchical logic in the UI layer to present hierarchical taxonomy for the users. The users still see somewhat similar to this page http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Digital-Cameras/Canon,/brand,/813/cat.html But I have to say that hardcoding the hierarchical logic in UI layer is messy. It looks like Koji patch will be a much better solution. Thanks Koji! Thanh On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 11:27 AM, Matt Mitchell goodie...@gmail.com wrote: Wow, this looks great. Thanks for this Koji!
