UI issue when search returns 0 results with filtered facets

[dfdan]

The screenshot below shows a problematic state for the search ui.

Having narrowed by section=an at the previous step and entering a new search with 0 results in section=an. However results exist in other sections, it is not apparent (other than in the URL) that you are still filtering for section=an

I'm not sure what the best solution here is - perhaps showing "an (0)" selected in the facet control?

You can re-create this at http://bth-invenio.data-futures.org/ with the following steps

1 - search "season"
2 - filter for section "an"
3 - search "werk"

This is addressed by #117. The changes involved are actually part of the default facets.html template.

It works for the use-case mentioned by OP (i.e. top-level facets) but doesn't work for deeply nested aggregations, since the hierarchy is not persisted in any way in the parameter...

The changes involved to make this possible might include a serious reworking of how configuration or search parameter state is stored for facets/aggregations.
