There’s a movement to make the web a more interactive, friendly, and exciting place to create and publish content. With WordPress you can publish a variety of material, but it’s all somewhat static. A one-way street of interaction.

One way to build and publish interactive content is through the power of faceted search. Faceted search is pervasive where people can afford it – site like Yelp, Amazon, Kayak, LinkedIn, and Ebay. Unfortunately, it’s usually been too expensive to implement for sites without 10 figure development budgets. Recently, there have been a number of solutions to add faceted search functionality to WordPress sites, but what’s the best way to use this awesome new technology?

We’ll talk about the importance of faceted search, how you can leverage faceted search technology to widen your tool-belt, how it can expand the level of interaction on a WordPress site, and its utility in the world of content publishing and web design.
