Abstract
The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for generating and providing a hybrid search-and-browse interface for accurately and efficiently locating and presenting targeted genealogical content items. For example, the disclosed systems generate and provide a multi-layered navigational structure using browse trees that represent categories of genealogical content items, where each successive browse tree in the hybrid search-and-browse interface narrows the search results from the one before based on some (selected) criteria. In some cases, to support a hybrid search-and-browse interface, the hybrid search-and-browse system generates and maintains a facet index for genealogical content items stored in a database as a basis for generating and providing browse trees for navigating through search results of content items.
