jQuery Facets

A faceted search is a Web form that searches for data using one or more search criteria and filters.

This enables the user to narrow down the possible results much faster and is great for large data collections.

jQuery Facets takes all the pain out of dealing with complicated AJAX operations and allows the developer to focus on the search UI and other additional tools.

The plugin allows the developer to create a faceted search form and then easily tie it in to various ready-made data filters.

A demo implementing a simple faceted search is included with the download package.
