Clarify and Refine
"(...) with respect to guided navigation, we should distinguish between clarify and refine. First, we must clarify the meaning or context. Are we in the right ballpark regarding the searcher's intent? Clarify is all about disambiguation. Then, we're ready to refine or narrow. Exactly what type of widget do you want? Refine is about increasing specificity." (Peter Morville - Findability)
