It occurred to me that Chosen could be put to great use for facet selection using the Facet API module. To achieve this Chosen would need to be implemented as a widget in Facet API (see Collapsible Facets for inspiration)

Is there any interest in coding this?

I have a working version in my sandbox with single-select dropdown boxes. I'd like to eventually have multi-select boxes with the active facets appearing within the select box itself. I'll need some help to get there though...

this would be awesome - could provide a much more pleasant experience than collapsible because the text in the 'select' box could offer a distinct clue for users (e.g. instead of just a plus sign, you'd see "choose one" or "choose one or more"

Title: Integration with Facet API » Integration with Facetapi Multiselect
Issue summary: View changes

Rather than needing to re-invent the wheel, integrating with Facetapi Multiselect would do the trick. This way Chosen would only need to integrate with the existing functionality that Facetapi Multiselect already provides.
