Filtering Search results quite limiting

[jcgood25]

Quite a simple request here - reintroduce the lost drill down and filtering options within the search results displayed:

Compare what a user is presented when searching for 'sap fiori' in the two search links below:

• BETA 1DX:  https://onedx.find.sap.com/s#t=sap%20fiori&n=1&p=default&repo=srh
• Current SCN:  https://find.sap.com/s#t=sap%20fiori&n=1&p=default&repo=srh

With the new SCN being 100% unstructured content, the end user cannot be expected to simply switch sort options and scroll through page after page of content, hoping to find what they are looking for.  How many people give up or refine their Google search after about 2 or 3 pages, some of you perhaps look no further than page 1?

Notice the Recommended link in the current SCN search results?  This is a cool feature

I have to also vent a little on how we could possibly be missing tags in the search results?  In an unstructured world that relies on tags over the current spaces on SCN, how can we not have a tag cloud (or whatever the thing is called that appears in a resultset like found at:  http://scn.sap.com/tags/#/?tags=fiori after which I can be inspired by the SAPple announcement at Sapphire and click on the larger bold mobile tag and end up with refined results for the combination of the two tags.

• "Best Bets" haven't been added to this search yet.  They need to be completely reprogrammed and aligned with the other site search on SAP.com
• Filtering...the topic/products filters haven't been activated yet and are connected to a new schema. However, content on the archive aren't tagged with the new tags schema so those filters  (when available) will only work with blogs, webpages and new discussions. I'm not sure about a function such as http://scn.sap.com/tags/#/?tags=fiori

When do we expect to see these capabilities enabled?  Having a search that only seems to worry about object type/author and simplistic sort options to compliment pagination is not enough to fully test here within the beta timeframe.
