When narrowing down search results using Liferay Portal 6.1 EE GA2, the portal does not continue to constrain results by the original query when another facet is selected. For example, this issue can be produced with the following steps:
1) Create a category "cat"
2) Create a web content with title "article", content "article" and category "cat".
3) Create another web content with title "asdf", content "asdf" and category "cat".
4) Add a search portlet to a page
5) Search for keyword "article"
Result 1: The search gives back correct search result
6) Now select "cat" to filter the result by this category
Result 2: All content with the selected category,"cat" shows up, rather than the content that is of the category "cat" and containing the word "article".
