One of the most powerful web parts in SharePoint 2013 to
provide search refinement experience is Search refinement web part. Search
refinement web part allows users to select to refine their search results to be
list a subset of results. We can modify this web part to include the properties
to be appear as refiners in the search results page and also we have the option
to choose the appearance of the properties like single or multiple. Depending
on the data returning on the search results web part, we have the advantages to
choose metadata values to be displayed. For example in a Office Management
Search center, we have data to be displayed custom metadata such as Employee
Job type, Designation, Department and some other default information like
author details.
As shown the image below, we can see the configuration
details in SharePoint Search refinement web part.
