A Multiple Selection Widget
On this version, we offer a new widget that allows multiple selection when browsing through comments as for example the reuters data. The page allows the user to search for entries by the features top id, top carma, top contents and date. Before, when making multiple selections in the same query, the page would only show results that correspond to ALL of these selections. The problem of this is, that when selecting more than one value, you only get very few or no results at all.
The main aim of the new widget is to allow the selection of different facets from the same field at the same time and then show results that only have to correspond to at least one of the values specified, as the different selections might contradict each other. This allows the user a more general search.
