the doc says:

filter
The filter is used when creating faceted search templates for drill-down navigation. Filters
are used to limit the search result set without altering the relevancy sort order. Facet
results contain filter definitions that can be used directly. Custom filter definitions can also
be created.

How can i create such a custom filter definition?

Hi Sylvain,

You can create a filter in your search form. Here is an example for a dropdown box:

 <select name="filter[]">
  <option value="{contact($content_class_identifier, '/', $attribute_identifier, ':', $value1}">value1</option>
  <option value="{contact($content_class_identifier, '/', $attribute_identifier, ':', $value2}">value2</option>
  <option value="{contact($content_class_identifier, '/', $attribute_identifier, ':', $value1}">value2</option>
</select>

You can get them with the new fetch operator:

  {$filterParameters = fetch( ezfind, filterParameters )}

Note: you can use filters without the facets.

Regards.
