Javascript Faceted Search Client (Framework)

Question

I wonder if there's any javascript framework (client-side stuff) to manage search results UI in a facet-based way (with facet generation, counting for items matching that facet..).

In other words, something like Ajax Solr (the old SolrJS), but not based on Solr :)

Thank you in advance!

don't understand the question ... facet needs to be calculated from the search engine ... do you really want a pure js search engine? I doubt it. but ... jsii is something like this ... without (facet) support ;) you are welcome to contribute of course!! https://github.com/karussell/jsii — Karussell, Jan 27 '11 at 21:04
@Karussell Maybe the question is bad-written, my fault obviously :) I mean an UI interface to manage experience of a facet based engine :) — lucke84, Jan 27 '11 at 21:57
@Karussell Your project jsii seems to be a nice idea, congrats! — lucke84, Jan 27 '11 at 22:30
what do you want to achieve? do you want to display data (with facets) which does not come from solr? — Karussell, Jan 29 '11 at 10:54

Simile Exhibhit seems to fit your description. Have you tried that before?
