Description
I'm building a new site that stores taxonomy terms in CCK Taxonomy fields rather than associating vocabularies with content types. In all the structural variations I've tried over the past few days, I'm almost certain that I was able to use FS guided search in this configuration. However, guided search does not work now unless I create a vocabulary association and assign terms in that manner. Does FS work with taxonomies stored in CCK Taxonomy fields or is my memory (or, wishful thinking) failing me? :) Thinking about this logically, it would seem that this would require CCK Facets but I don't believe that field type is supported yet, If this is not possible currently, do you have plans to implement it? Thanks.

For this to work, support for CCK Taxonomy fields would have to be added. That would be great and should not be hard to do...
But your memory is not failing you, because early versions of CCK Facets were trying to provide generic support for all CCK fields. It might have worked with CCK Taxonomy although I had not tested that particular field type. Unfortunately, this over-generalization was causing lots of problems with some field types, so I had to pull it out.
#2
Do you have an estimate of when this might be implemented? I would really prefer to incorporate taxonomies as fields rather than associating vocabularies.
By the way, your module (and documentation) is fantastic. I'm looking forward to getting this fully integrated into my site.

Any news about this?
I'm a drupal's novice user and I'm not sure how much time it would take me to develop it ... So I would like to know if you guys have already implemented the CCK Taxonomy support in FS or not before starting to think about how I could do that
Thanks.

I'm not aware of anyone having worked on this so far. With the other modules from the CCK Facets package as an example, this should be a nice way to get into Drupal and Faceted Search.

Not sure when it happened, but CCK Taxonomy now looks abandoned... I guess that disqualifies this patch. :-(
Perhaps Content Taxonomy is the way to go, although I'm not sure if it has become stable enough. Its own Faceted Search integration only needs a small fix in order to work: #285145: Content Taxonomy is not compatible with Faceted Search 1.0-beta4.
