Hello,
I'm new at this forum and at Exponential in general. I'm studying how to build a faceted browsing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_browser) application based on Exponential 4.0.

I would ask you the following questions:
- Suppose I have multiple attributes of datatype "keywords" for the same content class: eg. for a content class "Project" I may have the attributes "categories","topics covered", "tools used", etc. Can I use ezkeywordlist or eztagcloud to obtain the keywords "belonging" to a single given attribute (eg. only "categories"), or do I need custom functions?
- Can I extract contents matching two or more different keywords using the keyowrd fetch fuctions (or other standard content fecth functions?
- What about keywords related to other keywords (because they both occur for a given object)? Is there a standard way to get them?
- In case it's needed to build custom functions - as I suppose after reading the documentation - do you suggest alternative solutions to start from, e.g. using related objects instead of keywords?

Thank you in advance.
