Searching within the returned result set

Hi all

I'm new to Kinosearch and have been doing some reading on the application. Great app :-). One question, is it possible to display the results of your query then update your query string to be searched within that current result set. I'm looking at QueryFilter and wonder if I'm on the right track?

What I'd like to do is:
1. Search, display results
2. Update Query string (advance search) to search only within current result

Regards,
Riyaad, ZA

I suggest simply running a fresh query with the additional new
constraints. That way you don't have to worry about maintaining state
in your search app, with all the attendant problems of tracking users,
timing out caches and managing memory, etc.

QueryFilter is intended more for things like adding on a constraint of
"category => 'books'" -- where the query is known and persistent.
It's always nice to see APIs abused in unexpected ways, though. :)
