The Discovery Module enables faceted searching for your repository.
In a faceted search, a user can filter what they are looking for by grouping entries into a facet, and drill down to find the content they are interested in.
So instead of user searching: \[ wetland + Wiki Markup
So instead of user searching: [ wetland + "dc.author=Mitsch, William J" + dc.subject="water quality" \ ], they can instead do their initial search, \ [ wetland \ ], and then filter the results by attributes.
Although these techniques are new in DSpace, they might feel familiar from other platforms like Aquabroser or Amazon, where facets help you to select the right product according to facets like price and brand. DSpace Discovery offers very powerful browse and search configurations that were only possible with code customization in the past.
