For the first level context, you're right. Does faceted search also allow the ability to specify "near this link"? Like a "warmer" or "colder" approach to searching, where I can train the engine during the search? I also want to maintain a longer-term list of pages/sites to exclude. Like, unless otherwise specified, I never want results from w3schools or expertsexchange. This field is ripe for disruption, in my opinion. We can do so much better, but I've not seen any serious attempts.
