== Faceted Search ==
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 would therefore be missing CRTs from our advanced search page. Not acceptable.
