[IxDA Discuss] sites with filtering

[Monique Escamilla]

Thanks for the rich responses. By asking a pretty general question, I
received quite an education in the potentials, nuances, and pros/cons of
filtering. In response to Jack's question, I am researching the use of
fly-out navigation in a left-hand nav menu for a large business site.
I'm considering filtering as a possible solution to menus that have
secondary (or potentially tertiary) fly-out. I'm still at the
consideration phase, so all of the responses have been very helpful,
indeed.

In addition, I'm in my first information architecture internship, so
thanks again for all of the helpful site recommendations, and, in
particular, the larger issues that aren't on my radar yet.

Best,
Monique

Monique, now that you seen some replies, can you fine tune your original
request a little? Precisely what problem are you up against? Are you
asking about a menu system that has fewer of its items as the user
drills down in some more primary navigation? Are you asking about
behavior that results from traditionaly query criteria?
