Guided search based on a view [#256958]

Hey there, I had a quick look at the module and it seems really nice. I was wondering if it was possible to insert faceted searcj blocks when using views to display content.

For example I would show all content posted by a user at user/x. Then there would be a faceted search block that would show all the possibilities for that user...Meaning that i could filter his content by content type, taxonomy, etc.

In that case the faceted search environnement would not have a start page, or is it possible to have a dynamic start page, like user/x ??

Actually, I think it would be a good idea to rethink Faceted Search to be completely designed around Views, rather than just using Views.

The Guided search would describe the view's nodes, and adding a search term would mean applying a filter on the view.
Faceted search environments would become irrelevant: the view would be the environment.

It is a concept I had briefly attempted in the early prototypes of the module, but I had backtracked because of the complexity of the task. With Views 2 and its huge improvements, including integrated keyword search and friendlier URLs, the idea might be worth reconsidering.

Has anything transpired with this?

I am trying to get a guided search based on a proximity view to work. Basically, I want my users to enter a post code and a radius to search within. Then, I want them to be able to use a guided search block that utilizes only those proximity results. Is this feasible?
