Hello,

Anyone have any good pointers to faceted search examples and plugins.

Flare seems to be defunct. acts\_as\_solr looks promising but I havent  
anything real in terms of features in examples on the web other than  
what aaf provides.

I am sure I haven’t looked in the right places. I see sites like  
[http://flippingpad.com/](http://flippingpad.com/) have implemented a form of faceted search.

Some similar examples and the plugins/techniques used behind these  
systems would be very helpful.
