Hey Pierre, Facets are for when you want to get insight on how search results are clustered. It groups results by the attributes you specify as facets.
Checkout Overstocks implementation - http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=computer&taxonomy=&SearchType=HP_Header- (the Refine By box) - it just gives your users options to filter by. In Thinking Sphinx its returns a hash {attribute => {value => count}} Hope that helps, Dan On Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 6:55 AM, Pierre <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > Just a very simple question : > > What are facets ? > When do you want to use them ? > > Thanks, > > Pierre > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
