Google finally getting that Faceted Navigation is a powerful paradigm
A few days ago Daniel announced that he is joining Google where he would be focusing on changing the simplistic view of the google search (layout and all that), and today Techcrunch has a post that shows Google is flirting with the Search Options more (see screenshot below). It definitely shows that Google is finally understanding that Faceted Navigation (filtering) is a very powerful paradigm that helps users slice and dice results and help them narrow down to the result they are most interested in.
I think we will see a lot of activity from Google in this area as they enrich this functionality more and more. I can see them exposing dynamic faceting capability where based on the higher level type of information / type chosen, the facets that show up would change.Posted via email from Sameer’s posterous
