Google Search Appliance: Getting the Most from Your Google Search Appliance Search Experience 39
Providing Options for Navigating Search Results
In many cases, content already has considerable metadata associated with it. As a search appliance
administrator, you can use metadata to help users explore search results by using dynamic navigation.
With dynamic navigation, when a user clicks on a metadata attribute value, the search results are
filtered to contain results from the original search query that also have that specific attribute value. For
example, when a user searches for the topic “Italian cooking,” dynamic navigation options appear under
Navigate, along with the search results, as shown in the following figure.
Setting Up Dynamic Navigation
Set up dynamic navigation by performing the following tasks with the Admin Console:
1. Enabling dynamic navigation and adding attributes by using the Serving > Dynamic Navigation
page, shown in the following figure.
