On the flipside, however, the Amazon Diamond Search interface (
http://tinyurl.com/2aw9um) is chock full of sliders, and they definitely get
used. In that case, they're the main show - not a sidebar of filtering
options, but the primary interface that must be used to get the info you
want.

Users still complain about the dexterity required to set the sliders
correctly, though - particularly while using the Price slider.
