Traditional linear search methods often prove unsuitable for large sets of data, which applies particularly for multi-faceted information (data consisting of items that can be ordered by multiple criteria). Facet browsing helps the user to extract information from a multi-faceted database by letting him limit the range of results gradually as he determines search criteria step by step.

UI Patterns

It is important to note that the patterns are offered as proposed sets of design guidelines. They are NOT the only solutions, strict recipes etched in stone, or a substitute for sound human-centered design practices. In our view, it is essential to select and apply the patterns critically and thoughtfully based on an understanding of the users - their level of knowledge, their discovery scenarios and goals, and their modes of information discovery. For example, some UI patterns work well for the "knowledgeable seeker" but not the "uncertain explorer." For more information about how to effectively use the patterns, you can download Applying Endeca Search & Discovery UI Design Patterns .
