I just added a feature to NYT Explorer which lets you use additional refinement categories (technical term: facets). The newly available facets are:

• NYT “Desk”
• Organization
• Publication month
• Publication year

There are other facets available too, but the ones up there now are the most user friendly. (Perhaps I should provide an “advanced” mode which would show you all of them, even the unfriendly ones.)

To choose which facets you see, hover over the “Refine your search” area—a “Customize” link will appear in the upper right hand corner.

Enjoy! Any feedback is appreciated.

I’ve made some minor changes to NYT Explorer over the past two days:

• added spelling suggestions using the YAHOO! BOSS spelling suggestion API
• added thumbnails where available
• added a feedback forum; if you have any questions, comments, or ideas, I’d love to hear them
• modified layout slightly to be more flexible; I think it’s more attractive now too

Enjoy!
