How are the search facets implemented in OStatic?

By Riyana Singh - Mar. 12, 2008

Was it a module in Drupal or some custom development or some other app that you integrated in order to facilitate the facets for the search results?

I just love the way you guys have gone about doing this. Its a great way to slice & dice large amounts of data - something that none of the other directory structures or tagging/taxonomy don't allow you to do.

I was curious if you'll be sharing this code as a drupal module??? :)

    Thanks and glad you like it!


    We have implemented a periodic indexer, written in Java, that gathers custom data from each entity and dumps it into formats which make the search task a lot easier.


    We also have our search engine sitting on a separate server that serves up content to the search pages.


    The good news is that we use web services for this, which will allow us to pull out the engine and service 3rd party requests at some point via APIs.


    Stay tuned...
