Faceted Search Integration

Thanks for your answer and this marvellous module.

We built a view for our location terms and the autocomplete works great. So (a) was indeed already implemented.

It turned out - after we have tried to understand your code - that (b) is also nearly implemented. We only need to understand how to override the theme function, then we can redirect to the faceted search URL using "taxonomy:". $result->{$result->base_field} as argument. We'll post the code here when it works.

We found a tiny bug in finder_views.module and wrote a patch that is attached to this comment. As you seem to be working on the project at the moment, we give this feedback now.

We found another small bug (patch attached). After reading #458680: Finder Views: redirect to result we understood that a simple

function myfunction_finder_views_goto_result_alter($finder, $result) {
  $id = &$result->{$result->base_field};
  switch ($result->base_table) {
    case 'term_data':
      drupal_goto('my_base_path/results/taxonomy:'. $id);
  }
}

suffices to start a faceted search on a taxonomy term resulting from a views search with finder. Now we have to figure out how to extend a faceted search...

Ok, in the future we'll file a new issue for every bug we find. We thought we found a simple distortion of arguments in #3. If this is not the case forget about the patch. We'll look into the faceted search integration again as soon as someone answered #464778: Faceted Search & Finder or if we find the answer on ourselves.

This function works to start a facet search (without patch #3 which seems to be born by lack of understanding so forget about it):

function linksunten_finder_views_goto_result_alter($result, $finder) {
  $id = &$result->{$result->base_field};
  switch ($result->base_table) {
    case 'term_data':
      drupal_goto('filtersearch/results/taxonomy:'. $id);
      break;
    case 'users':
      drupal_goto('filtersearch/results/author:'. $id);
      break;
  }
}

What we really want to do is a redirection to a different URL (to set another facet) based on the previous URL and the chosen taxonomy term/author. The above approach does not work since finder first redirects to /finder/XX and thus the feacet search environment (the previous URL) is lost.
