Taxonomy Filter
The taxonomy_filter module is designed to give your users an easy to use interface for narrowing down taxonomy listings for finding topics that are tagged by multiple terms. This is useful for sites that use multiple vocabularies to create a multi faceted information architecture.

The standard Drupal taxonomy module has the ability to do this with the following url format:
/taxonomy/term/x,y
which will show a listing of all nodes tagged with term ids x and y. The downside is that not many visitors will be aware of this functionality.
The taxonomy_filter module allows your users to use the same functionality without needing to know the url syntax described above. It works by allowing the site admin to specify that any vocabulary can be 'filtered' by any other
vocabulary.
When vocab A is set to be 'filtered' by vocab B, whenever someone visits the taxonomy listing of a term in vocab A they will see a menu of 'filter by' terms from vocab B. This allows the visitor to narrow down the listing by choosing another term - effectively showing them the intersection set of nodes from the two terms.
Note: This module makes no changes to your database schema.
