Bug Description

Do a search on "hiv"

You get:
  AIDS/HIV, Housing 2
  AIDS/HIV, Prevention & Education 18
  AIDS/HIV, Testing & Screening 14
  AIDS/HIV, Treatment & Support 8
  Advocacy, AIDS/HIV 8
  Hotlines, AIDS/HIV 1
  Information and Referral, AIDS/HIV

Some agencies show up in all results, for example Lowell Community Health
Center. It is a bit frustrating for the user to click through all the
categories to find the same agency.

What is the expected output?

  Right now we can't say what the correct design is.

The best design is probably faceted,

So like you search for hard drives on newegg.com

You get a list of all the results (perhaps sorted by relevance)

Then down the side you get the headings:

 AIDS/HIV, Housing 2
  AIDS/HIV, Prevention & Education 18
  AIDS/HIV, Testing & Screening 14
  AIDS/HIV, Treatment & Support 8
  Advocacy, AIDS/HIV 8
  Hotlines, AIDS/HIV 1
  Information and Referral, AIDS/HIV

which you click to restrict the results.
