Hello Fago and thank you for the beautiful project! I installed it on newly created website but I am unable to build the first page. I see that you use Faceted Navigation to do this with views, but I don't know how to create them. I tried with many options in Views, but everything that I achieve is link to page, not to the search of the taxonomy, for example IT Skills>Drupal
I want to make my front page as the front page of the demo site, so when I have 4 resumes with Drupal skills, the block to show "Drupal (4)" and this to be link to search of IT Skills/Drupal.
Thank you in advance! :)

Try to configure the facet block either through the contextual links or the block configuration page. That will enable the AJAX see more link on the facet block.

For having blocks that show on pages other than a search page use Views to create a new facet block and make sure to add the more link to the block through the Views UI.

Adam, I don't know how to make facet block with views. I tried many options to start including Search Facet, Search Server, Job search and so on, but I all achieve is empty block or useless.
I am familiar with Views for D6, but D7 Views is little confusing. I don't know what to choose - Fields or Entity. Little more explanation will be great, thank you in advance!

I found this http://drupal.org/node/1238792. Maybe this will help me with more details. Thanks once again Adam! :)

Oh, I am unable to make facet block with views. I've read all the forums, patched Search API and so on, and again - no result. Views simply don't allow me to create such block.

Edit: Finally I found the Facet Block in Views, but I am still unable to make facet block (guided search or navigation) on page without search results (my front page), showing for example 5 of the most wanted skills - Drupal (3), Linux (2), Windows (1) and when I click on "Drupal (3) to see search results for Faceted search Drupal. Like the first page of the demonstration site.

Go to yoursite.com/admin/structure/views/view/resume_search/edit and look for where it says "Displays." Right below it says Page in a button with +Add button next to it. Click '+Add' then click Facets block.. I think the only thing that required after that is the click in the middle column under settings to choose which index to use for the facets.

edit: The path in the settings section also needs to be set to search/resume, for example.

Thank you Adam! I managed to make blocks, but now I stuck with panels. I can't show the blocks with the panels. I don't know how the demo site is created, but looking the source code it's based on views, arranged with panels - when I choose the views, they are always empty.

You will have to learn how to be proficient with Views, Rules and Search API to get anywhere with this project. Node One has an excellent series of tutorials which can help you learn some of this stuff. http://nodeone.se/in-english

Thank you Adam. I use Drupal from 5-6 years and I am able to do many things with it, but few things are difficult to do without little help or only direction where to look. I see now, that the demo site use one module, that is not part of the distribution, called recruiter_feautures or recruiter_custom. I thinked that it's enough to make view block and to put it on the panel container to make it visible, but it seems that this is not so easy. I will try to find workaround.
Anyway, thank you for your detailed explanation and support! :)
