User interface

Above the list is a toolbar with controls for the list. In a default installation, a Facets portlet is included on the page, enabling the user to refine the search. A discovery tag cloud is displayed, showing the most popular tags related to the search.

The fields included in the search results are determined in the configuration, but typically they would include the following: author, title, media class, and cover image. The search results may also include availability information and ratings.

The Dynamic links portlet is available on this page. It is used to send the search query to another database or search engine. Webservice client and IFrame portlets may be included to launch external sites or present web services results using the search query as input.
