Hello, I've already asked on #volto channel of discord about a possible add-on for Volto similar to the EEA Faceted Navigation for Plone, and I was recommended the EEA Semantic Search (if I understood correctly, it's under development).
Has anyone here worked with a custom search in Volto similar to the Faceted Navigation? May you share what you used?
I've seen the data catalogue of the EEA site which seems to be using Volto, and it's quite nice: Forest Information
@everton137 I'll try to provide a full picture, as things are complicated
The EEA Semantic Search is under heavy development (it doesn't yet have Volto integration). I think we'll have something in Volto around this autumn.
The Forest data catalogue is not actually implemented with Volto, it's just integrated with it. It's an older service (yet extremely powerful) that's developed using JQueryUI.
There's also the option of skipping ElasticSearch and using the ListingBlock to create a "faceted navigation" block. I have some code ready, I'll be able to contribute this to Volto sometime in the next 2 weeks.
Here's a block that can do a simple search with faceted navigation for Volto: volto-freshwater/src/components/blocks/SearchBlock at develop · eea/volto-freshwater · GitHub. That folder is self-contained, you can clone the repo and copy the whole SearchBlock folder to your own project. To get the block registered, you can do something like: (in your project's config.js):
