Finders

Finders allows content editors to create searchable and filterable lists of items, without needing to change site configuration.

Features

With Finders, content editors can create entities which act as 'channels', which list other entities which are 'entries'. A channel entity's list is built with SearchAPI and Views, and can additionally have faceted filters.

Originally designed for LocalGov Drupal Directories as a simple way for site builders to create ways for users to find content entries. This is now being generalized so information architecture modules: directories, events, news, consultations, anything that has entries in a "channel" can be configured by the site builder to create an easy system for users to search and filter through content.

This is an API module. You will install it when other modules that implement a Finder require it.
