When I use facets, it has a guided search, and it is almost what I want. Except currently, it only show tags who is the children of the searched tag. For example:
I first chose "animals" tag
then it will show up "birds" and "cats" tags, so I can further refine my search.
but what if, there are articles tagged by both "animals" and "plants"? and there are a lot of them? I don't see the option to select tag "plants" to show all the items which belong to both "animals" and "plants".
Maybe it sounds not sensible... how can something belong to both... but the site I'm building are filled with mathematics, and in mathematics, one problem can involve different fields. For example, some nodes are tagged with both "number theory" and "geometry", and guided faceted search have no way to show nodes contain exactly those 2 tags, because non of them is the parent of the other. that's really frustrating, because the reason I use drupal to create the site is because I believe there are modules can make use of it's powerful taxonomy system and present my site even better than the newegg's product navigation.

It will be really great if this module can product that feature.

Often, completely unrelated terms should really belong to separate taxonomies (vocabularies), in which case Faceted Search would allow you to select a term in each of the vocabularies. If you're new to faceted classification, you might want to read this article.

Nevertheless, it would be great to be able to select more than one category per facet. That was already discussed here.
