Just as it is important to choose the proper knife when slicing-n-dicing vegetables, it is critical to prescribe a suitable user interface to support faceted filtering. Faceted filtering allows you to narrow down a large list of objects to a manageable size by applying flexible combinations of attribute filters in any order. Rather than forcing you down fixed paths within a website’s information architecture, faceted filtering allows you to multi-dimensionally slice-n-dice the information in a manner that best accommodates your specific needs. A user interface that optimally supports faceted filtering must expose its robust functionality in a way that expresses affordances, controls complexity, and follows existing standards that have been pre-established across the web.

If any metadata is associated with the graphic in HTML meta tags, that metadata is indexed. * Encrypted, viewable PDF documents are converted to HTML for indexing, but the cached HTML is not displayed. * PDF files created by scanning with optical character recognition (OCR) software are supported. * If you are using the Google Search Appliance, metadata can be fed from a database and then indexed. * Files in XML format cannot be crawled or indexed. * The contents of compressed file formats, such as ZIP or tar files, cannot be indexed.
