Hello,
This is a general question requesting advice on the best way to implement a 'Refine Search' feature.
At the moment I have a search, page, search results page and a detail product page. Users put in search criteria on the search page which filters the recordset on the search results page. The search results page results link to Detail product pages.
On the search results page is an additional 'Refine Search' form that has 8 further refining criteria (check boxes & dropdowns). I would like users to be able to use these form filters to re-filter the existing resultset that they are viewing.
What is the simplest way of achieving this ?
Do I need to define an additional resultset that uses the original search parameters as well as the new refine parameters ? Do I need a separate Refine Search results page ?
thanks for any pointers.
