User choosing frequency-based thresholds
As part of a site's advanced filters, I want to give people the ability to filter based on the frequency of results. i.e. "show only results that occur at least once per month" or "show only results that appear at least weekly". Currently this is a slider with granular control for "occurrences per year" (i.e. something that is approximately weekly would have a value of around 52) but users don't seem to find that intuitive and almost nobody touches it.
My idea is to give them the options of:
- Yearly
- Quarterly (default)
- Monthly
- Weekly
Each of these will increasingly reduce the number of results displayed. The question is how to present that choice:
- Slider with four labels
- Select box
- Radio buttons
- Other?
