When performing an certain types of searches and when viewing your results list, you may optionally enter criteria to limit your search results, if available for the database you are currently using and enabled by your library. For example, you may want to search for documents with a specific publication date or only for documents with images. You may be able to set your session preferences so that certain search limiters are checked by default.
| Note: For a list of the specific search limiters available in a particular collection, refer to the "Search Limiters in Product Name" topic from the table of contents at the left. |
The search limiters are displayed below the search term input boxes. If the search limiters are not currently displayed, click the Show Search Options link found on the search page. Click the Hide Search Options link if you do not wish to display these options. Depending on the database, your library may be able to configure whether these additional search limiters are displayed by default.
The ability to specify search limits or remove them is also be available from the tab bar on the results list and by using the Search sidebar.
Any search limits you entered when you created your search query will appear here. You may remove these limits to possibly expand your search results. Conversely, you may enter search limits to try to narrow your current results.
| Note: Search limiters must first be enabled by your library. |
