Can someone please change the filter feature to handle grouped content types with custom content type names, whereby a defined filter name could allow users to filter search results by a number of different content types?
I have a large website with 20+ content types which mean something to content administrators, but for anonymous users it makes it more difficult for them to find the information they are searching for.
For example, I have a number of different content types for web pages, books, articles, news, publications, videos, etc. on my website, but I would like users to have only the choices to filter by web pages, news and publications. So if a user wanted to filter by "publications", the search would filter the results by the content types that I have associated as being publications.
It would also be good if the group content type name could be displayed under the search results instead of the actual content type.
Module search_config https://drupal.org/project/search_config does something similar with grouping content types but does not implement a filter. Eg.
home_page, web_page, article, book_page|Web pages
news_page, position_statement|News
blog_page|Blogs
