I have been surfing around the Wayback Machine on archive.org to find
instances of Faceted searching, but have not found much. It's hard to
find a site on the wayback machine that has more than the front page. I
have looked at dell.com, ebay.com, cnet.com and since I cannot use the
searching mechanism it's hard to find instances of faceted search
results, but even so I haven't found good instances of faceted browsing
with results on the same screen. Before 2001 that is.
