search results interface needs more/different facets, better layout, more useful information

Was: https://www.umms.med.umich.edu/it.jira/browse/OERDRUPAL-97
Related:

• https://www.umms.med.umich.edu/it.jira/browse/OERDRUPAL-85 (Filter by instructor, creator #18)
• https://www.umms.med.umich.edu/it.jira/browse/OERDRUPAL-86 (Faceted search, sort by author is misleading #19)

The search results interface is fairly unusable as it stands. We need to:

• build more facets for users (see OERDRUPAL-85, OERDRUPAL-86 -- instructor, content type)
• modify existing facets ("Filter by" doesn't make any sense)
• adjust indexing so that previous revisions are purged, duplicates are ignored, unpublished content is ignored, site-wide metatags are not used for indexing
• modify result metadata so that it's useful: instructor, title, content type, remove "comments", show license
• modify layout to improve understanding of results: cluster results by content type, display the hierarchy or context (if a course is listed, show which school it came from)
• adjust sort feature to provide more useful information about the sorting and labels
• change the current search styling so that it doesn't look like a filter/facet
• how do the keywords come up? can this be adjusted?

should be reviewed by user specialist

this was completed a while back, right? Should we close this issue?
