Search Filter Categories

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Search Filter categories appear on the far left side of the search page once you've finalized a search by pressing the Search button.

Next to each category name, in parentheses, is a number.  This number indicates how many documents may be found in that category. For example, if you choose the category "Month published", and the number 12 appears next to it, that means that there are 12 different months available within the collection you are searching and you can narrow your search more by using one of those types of resources as your filter.
