Public Sticky notes
A user interface that optimally supports faceted filtering must expose its robust functionality in a way that expresses affordances, controls complexity, and follows existing standards that have been pre-established across the web.

It also opens up the possibility to use links instead of traditional form elements for filter selection.

When selecting filters across facets, you are basically creating an “AND” conditional statement.
Highlighted by alvint
The guided nature of faceted filtering with single-select elements restricts the total combination of filters that can be applied. A user cannot select multiple values from an attribute set (“OR” conditional).
Highlighted by alvint
Instead a user would apply the “running” filter, remove it, and apply the “walking” filter.

While you could choose to allow multi-select elements for some facets and single select elements for others, the drawbacks of the inconsistent behavior may outweigh any functional benefit.

Placing an item count after each facet value effectively gives users future insight without requiring additional interaction (figure 2)

Research has shown that users are more likely to see filters placed along the top row, although this may provide layout challenges when many filters with many values are used.
