Faceted browsing for Mozilla Thunderbird

MIT’s Simile project has a new addition to their open source tools, ‘Seek‘. Seek adds a faceted browsing feature for Thunderbird, which lets you search through email or RSS feeds easily.

A faceted classification scheme allows one to assign multiple classes to an object rather then a single predefined taxonomic class. Facets are more commonly used by web pages in navigation. Take an example of computer monitors. When you visit a website that sell monitors, you will usually see them classified by ‘Company’, ‘Screen size’, ‘Color’, Price’ etc. rather then a long list of monitors. All these are facets or dimensions of the product. One person may search by ‘Company’, another by ‘Price’.
