18. A computing device, comprising: a memory; a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising programmed instructions in code which, when loaded into the memory and executed by the processor, causes the computing device to: transmit a search query in a natural or structured query language from a computing device to a search engine server, the search engine server processing the search query through at least one index based upon syntax, semantics, or a combination thereof extracted from the search query, the at least one index including a semantic index representing words and semantic meaning of the words, the search engine server utilizing the semantic index to determine a meaning of the search query; receive from the search engine server: search results in response to the search query, a plurality of facets that matched the search query or are relevant to the meaning of the search query, wherein the plurality of facets includes at least themes, organizations, locations, or document types, and faceted search results for the plurality of facets associated with the search results; display the search results in a search engine interface; and in addition to the search results and in response to the search query, display in the search engine interface one or more of the plurality of facets, wherein the plurality of facets includes semantic facets derived from semantic metadata encapsulated to pieces of content referenced in the faceted search results, wherein the semantic metadata includes editorial metadata, semantic annotations, or a combination thereof, wherein at least a first semantic facet of the semantic facets is instantiated from the semantic metadata in response to the search query, wherein at least a second semantic facet of the semantic facets is created from the semantic metadata in an enrichment process and stored in the semantic index, wherein each facet of the plurality of facets is configured for triggering its own faceted search results such that a set of faceted search results are displayed for each facet, wherein the search results and the faceted search results for the plurality of facets together form a current result set for the search query, and wherein each faceted search result of the set of faceted search results is displayed in association with a number of hits for each faceted search result and user interface elements for selectively filtering each faceted search result to navigate, refine, or filter the current result set for the search query.

The computing device of claim 18 , the non-transitory computer-readable medium further comprising code for filtering a semantic facet displayed in the search engine interface on the computing device to refine the search query with a search term in response to a faceted search result being included as the search term via an associated user interface element.
