Hi,
I'm trying to set up a lot of facets for a library catalogue. It's the
typical faceted search scenario: search 'abc', see n related facets (perhaps
one called discipline, with a value of 'histories" and 150 matches), the
user then clicks on histories and expects to see those 150 records.
I've been configuring my facets as attributes, too, with the hope that
something like the following will work:
Book.facets 'abc', :facet => [:discipline], :with => {:discipling =>
"histories"}
With the attribute/facet discipline set as a string, though, inaccurate
matching was the result (I'm using Postgres).
After some reading I discovered the CRC type, and by converting the
facets/attributes to CRCs. I can obtain accurate matches through rails
console:
Book.facets 'abc', :facet => [:discipline], :with => {:discipling =>
"histories".to_crc}
But the browsing experience is lost as all of the facet names are integers;
so under the facet discipline I have lists of numbers.
I coded this far into it, thinking there'd be a way to convert from the CRC
representation for histories to the string representation (it's a Ruby
encoding, after all).
What are people doing to solve this problem
Cheers,
Nicholas
