Abstract
System and techniques for search result refinement are described herein. Search results and a search context may be obtained. A context dependent facet set may be added to a search result in the search results. A user interface of the context dependent facet set may be presented in conjunction with displaying the search results. A selection of a facet in the context dependent facet set may be received from a user. The search results being displayed may be filtered such that search results that meet a measurement of the facet are included in the displayed search results and the remaining search results are excluded from the display.
