What I think would be really useful would be for faceted search to set the breadcrumb according to the current search. I see that it might not be that great for keyword searches but definitely great for taxonomy terms as the navigation would nicely integrate with the rest of a site's navigation.
Might look into ways of doing this myself but thought you might have reasons why that's not a good idea.

I've patched current 6.x-1.x-dev to support this.

Right now it will add breadcrumbs for each "filter" selected with a little [x] to remove it.

Option provided in settings of the environment under "Current search" to enable/disable the setting.

In addition I set the title for the /results page too for the case that the breadcrumb option above is disabled, still need to show page title so user isn't confused.

Thanks for testing it out!

New version of patch that adds the ability to disable the remove link in the breadcrumbs.

great feature and a nice patch, thanks a lot for this.
I had to 'title callback' => null, as a quick and (surely) dirty fix to avoid "First argument is expected to be a valid callback" warnings from menu.inc (drupal 6.16 and faceted search 6.x-1.0-beta2).
Next step would be to remove facets from current search block and keep only keywords search there I guess.

Very annoying that the breadcrumbs do not work anymore after isntalling faceted search hope this can be fixed soon. I will give this patch a go see if it works.

Hi all,

I'm trying to solve the same problem, and I'm just wondering if the Faceted Search Context (http://drupal.org/project/fs_context) module satisfies this problem? (It's built by miiimooo (http://drupal.org/user/62954), the creator of this thread, so that might be a hint :)

Edit: Whither Markdown?
