Facets

One of VuFind's most prominent features is faceted search, which allows a result set to be narrowed down based on values displayed in a sidebar.

Notes:

  • VuFind allows for “configuration” of facets in terms of which facets to show and in which order. Just edit facets.ini in your favorite text editor to adjust Solr faceting. If you are not using Solr, most third-party content providers also allow faceting, which can be configured in the appropriate .ini file (e.g. Summon.ini, etc.).
  • One helpful way to understand facets is to submit queries to Solr to return faceted results directly in XML: See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters and scroll all the way down for examples of URLs. You can also turn on debug mode in config.ini to see exactly which URLs VuFind is generating for its own queries.
  • More details on adding facets (with a particular focus on building them using data in MARC records) can be found on this page.
