Ah very nice. I prefer this new proposal!
One thing I like is that it takes less visual space so that the searched results have more
screen estate.
Thanks

Hi devs,
This is an _alternative_ proposal to what is currently implemented in our
Solr Search. For the current implementation there is another proposal [1]
that is already partially integrated.
The current Solr implementation is focused on Facets search. This means
that not all possible filters are revealed, but just those that match the
current query, letting the user narrow the results.
This alternative proposal will display all the possible filters and will
let the user make his own selections instead of auto-selecting for him.
This proposal is inspired from JIRA's filters.
Although being able to customize and to refine the filters to exactly what
you need will be great for developers and advanced users, please keep in
mind that normal users will be more comfortable with the faceted search
since it's more 'standard' in the wild (in the e-commerce and
product-related websites). Advanced user know exactly what they want in
comparison with normal users that rely on the first 3 results.
You can see a screenshot at
