How to Design Faceted Search

The Complete Guide to Designing Faceted Search User Interface

About the Book

Designing Faceted Search can be a real pain in the neck.

I found it when I had to design one for my web application.

That is also when I learned a ton about how to design Faceted Search the right way.

In this book, I aim to teach everything that I have learned about Faceted Search.

And I hope you like it and enjoy reading the book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
