Program Directory Overhaul

April 17, 2025 · umbc, filter-ui, javascript

Led a full rewrite of the SearchProcessor, FilterManager and UIRenderer:

• Fixed infinite-loop and overfiltering issues when unchecking child degree types
• Implemented programKey deduplication to surface distinct titles with multiple degree levels
• Tuned relevance tie-breaking and added clear-all/reset behavior
• Improved performance by lazy-loading filter logic and throttling DOM updates
