Thanks, that is very helpful. I have started to configure my Categories with facets as you show.
Now I am puzzled by something else. The results of my query don’t make sense.
I have have created a Faceted Browse page titled “Explore by Decade.” in it I have five categories, 1960s through 2000s, each defined by a search query such as dcterms:date starts with 198 for 1980s.
Before I add any facets, each decade results page in the end-user view shows all and only those items with a date that is in the selected decade, as expected.
I added a facet called “Location” defined as the Spatial Coverage property. In the Configure Facet panel I have four values, place names such as “New York,” “Boston” and the like, and my query type is Contains.
In the end-user view, when the page first appears no facet values are selected, and the result set includes all and only items that match the Decade. But when I select a facet value for Location, the result set shows all items that match that facet regardless of decade. It looks like the Location facet query overrides the initial Decade query. But I want it to show only those items that are in the chosen decade AND whose location matches my selection criterion. In other words,
- Query: Decade = 1980s and Location contains “New York”
- Expected result: Items that match both criteria
- Actual result: Items that match only the Location criteria. It shows items with dates in the 1980s but also in other decades.
How can I get it to show items that match both criteria?
