Filter search results

[Tychodewaard]

Description of problem

Many tenders request search filtering by tags.
The actual usecase is to quickly drill down when you have 1000 hits on your result page.
Currently, every hit within the search results can display the related tag. Clicking that tag, filters the results page. But we are not there yet...

Description of solution

What you need is a list of tags along the side of the result list. Or on mobile 'filter' above the results. It's like filtering in a webshop.

In an ideal world, as an admin I would like to be able to sort the tags/filters

Two main reasons for this:

1. It gives direct and comprehensive view for the end user on what tags/filters are available
2. If you can sort the tags, you can create your own decision tree if you create tags like 'are you an EU citizen?' or 'Are you already a customer'
