Needs to maintain history/state & make sure crawlable for SEO.

Hello!

This plugin looks great so far. Thanks for building it! It works great so far and will work for many use cases I’m sure. However there are a few things stopping me from using it right now though. For the particular project I’m working on, I need a little bit more functionality.

I’m just posting this so I can keep an eye on this project and see if others have any of the same requirements that I do.

1. Need to maintain state of the form. The user must be able to click their back button in the browser to get back to the results they had previously.
2. The ajax pages should be crawl-able by search engines. It doesn’t seem like they are after reading this article from Google Developers: Feel free to correct me if I’m misunderstanding. =)
3. When choosing a hierarchical taxonomy for a dropdown, the dropdown will be a flat list and the hierarchy is lost.
4. There is no way to choose a subset in a hierarchical taxonomy. You can exclude terms individually, but you can’t exclude by depth for example or “only children of”.
5. Doesn’t seem to have a way to show form fields conditionally. However, this could probably be done on my end with some custom javascript. For example, “If option A was chosen, display options I. If option B was chosen, display options II.”

Thanks for reading!
