I abandoned [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Faceted_search SMW faceted search] for our advanced search page because it seems SMW faceted search is basically client-side only, so you have to retrieve every CRT in the database first to do the search.

	That's annoying, but what eliminated it completely as a possibility is that there seems to be a hard limit on the number of results that can be returned from the backend, which is smaller than our full CRT database size, so we ~~will~~ therefore be missing CRTs from our advanced search page.
