Digg gets Faceted Navigation (Solr?)

Type a search on Digg and you’ll see faceted navigation on the left hand side. I think they are doing an awesome job of showing the sparklines to show the trend of volume of the post for the search.

Django meets Solr - django-solr-search

Last month, I wrote about various options on providing search in Django based applications. Kudos to Sean at screely.com for finishing the conversion of Django Solr module to Django 1.0. This adds one more to the list, and perhaps replacing the django lucene module. You can find the code, and other related links on the project page hosted at Google Code.

Providing Search and Faceted Navigation to Django application just became a little easier with this.
