Working with your results

The results of your most recent search are displayed beneath the search box(es).

To see the results of an earlier search:

  • Select Recent Activity from the My dashboard menu on the left-hand panel..
  • Select the name of a previous search to re-run it and view the results.

Immediately above the list of search results, you will find two drop-down menus headed Show: 10 and Relevance. These can be used to change the way that your results are displayed.

Two buttons labelled "Show 10" and "Relevant".

  • Show: 10 can be used to change the number of results displayed per page.
    • You can display up to 50 results per page.
    • To view the next page of results, select Show more results at the bottom of the results list.
  • Relevance can be used to change the sort order of your results. For example, select Date Newest to bring the most recent results to the top of the list.

If a record has an abstract, you will see the beginning of the abstract displayed in the results list. To view the entire abstract for a single record, select Show more.
