John Griffin commented on HSEARCH-132:
--------------------------------------

Sorry I haven't gotten back on this item sooner. I  believe faceted searches are more related to relevancy. The basic methodology that supports relevancy theory is:

   1. the user is presented with results of a search by his query terms
   2. the user selects the terms considered more important (more relevant) from the results
   3. the search is repeated with the selected terms added to the query and the non-selected terms removed
   4. cycle this until the user is satisfied with the results

To a point, filters accomplish some of this but neither a filter nor an AND account for the removal of non-relevant terms.
