# Why are we doing this?
We want to provide users with ways to modify/refine search results, and current search filtering abilities don’t account for structured data, so we have to build this functionality in order for that to happen.
# What do we want to do
The ultimate goal/vision for this is to enable effective search for users, so they can find media they are looking for quickly and easily. See saga parent ticket: T213358
# What is the short term goal/need for this work?
To provide an interface for users to refine their results with SDC property filters and sort by upload date.
# What don’t we want to do
- The following features are out of scope, and may be incorporated into a subsequent update.
- Tabbed results by media type with counts next to each type
- Sorting results by anything other than upload date
- Layout of results
- Pagination changes
# Epic story
As a… Commons user
When I… search for media files
I want to… be able to apply filters to my search results
So that I can…. find a specific media/set of media which matches my needs
