I've done the same thing that Simon is doing here-- implementing
browsing and searching with the same code.
I still had explicit browse options like "browse by date" and "browse by
size". They simply had hard links to a search result set.
I think Simon is proposing the same-- the concept of browsing wouldn't
have to go away, it could easily be implemented by creating explicit
search links using the meta data in the system.
