VisualSearch.js

The developer can specify preset search facets, which the user can enter as search filters.

For each facet, the developer can leave them blank or have a list of preset options the user can choose from using a drop-down list.

VisualSearch.js is useful when having search forms with multiple search term inputs.

The library allows the developer to merge all those search input fields into one single UI and deploy it without having to waste too much space on the page.

This library is used for searching the DocumentCloud database.
