Your content already has great meta data? Wouldn't it be nice to give your users access to that information to help refine their search results? The Google Search Appliance and Google Mini support for parametric search makes using that metadata a breeze. Simply plug in this AJAX-based UI component, and see search in a whole new light.

Hint: This module dynamically creates facets based on meta tags within your indexed corpus. If you are interested in a solution that adds a faceted search menu that is static, you should take a look at a project called gsa-faceted-search: http://code.google.com/p/gsa-faceted-search/.

Please email us at enterprise-labs@google.com after you download the software so we can keep you up-to-date on new versions and bug fixes as they are released. You can also join the Google Enterprise Labs Discussion Forum to ask questions, hear about new experiments that are coming, and suggest ideas for new experiments!
