Allow selecting multiple terms from a vocabulary for faceted search #622

Open pwilkins opened 9 years ago

pwilkins commented 9 years ago

Currently the LORE UI supports selecting a single term from a vocabulary for faceted search. You can select a term from as many facets as are displayed, but no more than one term from each vocabulary. If you have a repository containing four courses, the faceted search allows you to choose one of the courses or all of the courses, but not two of the courses.

(Actually, I thought we used to be able to do this, but it is no longer supported on lore-ci.) @pdpinch

Did you check production, i.e. lore.odl.mit.edu ?

pwilkins commented 9 years ago

Same behavior in production.

pdpinch commented 9 years ago

There is still some ambiguity of whether this would function as an "or" or as an "and"

@ferdi have you had any more thoughts on this? Jolyon was advocating for an "or" last week, but I don't think you were convinced.

I believe "and" has always been the behavior so far with facets. Since we don't have any resources which belong to more than one course you would never see the option to facet on two courses. But if you assign a resource two different terms from the same vocabulary you should be able to facet by both.

Yes, that's currently by design. We can consider it as enhancement.
