Search Within

[Vernon Chapman <ch...@gmail.com>]

I am not sure if this is a really easy or newbee-ish type question.
I would like to implement a search within these results type feature.
Has anyone done this and could you please share some tips, pointers and
or documentation on how to implement this.

Thanks

Vern

Bess,

I think that might work I'll try it out and see how it works for my case.

thanks

Hi, Vernon.

In Blacklight, the way we've been doing this is just to stack queries  
on top of each other. It's a conceptual shift from the way one might  
think about "search within", but it accomplishes the same thing. For  
example:

search1 ==> q=horse

search2 ==> q=horse AND dog

The second search, from the user's point of view, takes the search  
results from the horse search and further narrows them to those items  
that also contain dog. But you're really just doing a new search, one  
that contains both search values.

Does that help? Or am I misunderstanding your question?

Bess
