Providing filtering options is common in advanced search experiences. However, given mobile screen real estate limitations, it’s hard to include both filters and search results in the same view without the screen getting cluttered. A good filtering experience always gives feedback when users apply a filter.
For more information, see the blog post: showing feedback when filtering.
Example
As you can see in this example of a movie search interface, filtering options are displayed in a modal window with immediate feedback to let users see their influence on the search results.
