Search, Filter, and Compare: Building a Specialized Search Site

Learn about different ways to search, filter, and compare in Drupal.

1. Learn how to configure searches by:

• Single or multiple choice (either text list or taxonomy terms)
• Free text search
• Tag (taxonomy term, as a Tag cloud)

2. Learn how to configure sortability

3. Learn how to configure a module that lets users compare items side-by-side (click here for an example)

The Class Web Tools site offers a way to search for web applications the same way you would shop for items on Amazon. You can search by category, filter by feature or functionality, and even compare tool fields in a table format. Learn about which modules offer this specialized search functionality, and how they were used and configured for this site.
