5.8.1. Results Page

A. Content Dashboard

By default, search results will contain all content types. The numbers next to each content type tell you the number of results in each.

You can choose to view the results from a particular content type by clicking on one of the tabs.

B. Search Navigation

Search Navigation gives you the ability to move through your search results. You can move through your results page by page, or you can jump to a particular page.

The Search Navigation also appears at the bottom of the page.

C. At a Glance

At a Glance pages provide an overview of the articles available on a particular topic. At a Glance results appear at the top of your Search Results list and will give you quick access to At a Glance pages for a person or subject entry.

If a "Show more" link appears in the At a Glance section of the results list, you can click it to display additional results.

D. Results

The results list is where you'll find all of the site content that meets the terms and parameters of your search. For each search result, you will see:

• Title
• Content type
• Image icon: The camera icon indicates if an article has an image associated with it.
• Context: If your search term is found in the article title, you will see the first few words of the article. If your search term is found in the article text, you will see the text surrounding the first occurrence of your search term in the article.
• Source: This indicates the original source of publication.

E. Print & Email

The Print button opens a new window with a printable version of the current page of your Search Results.

The Email button opens a new window with a form to fill out to email your search parameters. Clicking on the link in the email will re-run the same search in the site. You will need a subscription to the site in order to do so.

F. Filter Results

Select an Era and/or a Category to limit your search results. You can click the plus signs to see more specific options.

You can only select one Era and one Category. Selecting a second option will switch the filter from the previous selection.

To remove a filter, select "All" at the top of the list.
