Computer implemented method for searching resources via a web application

A computer implemented method for searching resources via a Web application (e.g. a portal, user interface) includes associating a resource (pictures, video, sound etc.) with at least one resource type (e.g. hotel, car, book, etc.). A first search request is initiated via a search engine interface 808. A search result based on the first search request and associated resource types are received. The received associated resource types are mapped to at least one class of user interface controls (e.g. interactive elements in a portal adapted to receive user commands, sliders 810, checkboxes 812), resulting in at least one selected group of classes of user interface controls. The at least one selected group of classes of user interface controls is dynamically mapped to a corresponding instance of user interface controls and rendered together with the search result into a faceted user interface 802 (e.g. multi-criteria filtering). After receiving input via the rendered instances of the user interface controls, the received search results are filtered and rendered together with the faceted search interface.
