After performing a search query via the Search interface, your results will appear below the primary search pane and replace the optional Explore pane (if active).

Browsing results is most useful when you don't know the exact item for which you are searching; it allows you to preview additional information or other available items before selecting one or performing a more refined search.

By default, the Search interface allows you to browse through your search results in a standard, Brief Results order; a list of items in your collection that most closely match the search query you entered.

However, you can also choose to search in “call number” order using the expanded Shelf Browse functionality. In this view, you are placed in the call number browsing index starting with the shelf location of the item—whose details you chose to expand—can be found. From there, you can browse and examine items via their call numbers. From there, you can browse and examine items via their call numbers.

Search Results Control Bar

All search results are preceded by a dynamic search header that provides tools to help further refine your search and total the number of results returned, including the number of valid netTrekker results and a direct link to their search results. Here is an example of the dynamic search results header:

• Share. This button allows you to share the title you're reading (or interested in reading) with others; it creates a URL that can be copied and pasted into an email, document, or instant message.
  
  

• Print. This button opens the Print Items dialog and allows you to print either the entire Results List (i.e. All Items) or just Selected Items from your search results. Click Print in the bottom-right corner of the Print Items dialog to open your operating system-standard print dialog window. Printing formats include:

  • Simple List. Prints only the simplified data from your results list.

  • Bibliographic Format. Prints a numbered bibliography.

  • Citation Format. Prints titles in a bibliographic format.

  • Short Details. Prints key data for each title.

  • Full Details. Prints all title information.

  • Note. This report includes the citation for the title as well as the project name, all given notes, and other questions or issues to research; this report prints one page for each item in the Results window.

  • MARC Records. Prints full MARC records for each title.

  • Study Program Details. Prints all records with study program information.

• Add to List. This button allows you to Add All... (default) or Add Selected... search results to a user-created Saved List or the default Temp List.
  
  

•  Sort. This button allows you to sort your search results by Relevance (default), Title, Series, Author, Call Number, Rating, etc.
  
  

• Filter. This button allows you to filter your search results by Authors, Awards, Genre, Medium, Series, Year, Subjects and Stars. For more on search filters, see below.

• netTrekker. Displays the number of netTrekker result matches and offers a direct link to the netTrekker site.
  
  
• Results List Count/Find More. Displays the total number of returned Search results. By default, the Search interface returns up to fifty (50) results per page when you perform a search. In your Search preferences, you can change the number of Initial Search Results Returned (e.g. 25, 50, 100) that are returned per page. If you receive more than results than are allowed to be displayed, click Find More to show the remainder in the Results List.
