Search Results

Understanding the Results List | Navigating the Results List



I. Understanding the Results List

The search results list is presented in a table format for easy reading and scanning.
  • The results are listed according to relevancy, a mathematical score based upon each record's relative match to your search query.
  • Your search query is displayed at the top of the list (labeled Query:).
  • The number of records your search retrieves and the number of results displayed are indicated in the top cell of the table.
  • Use the check boxes to the left of each article title to mark the records you want for display, downloading, or printing.
    Note: You can mark and download (or print) records across any number of pages of results.


II. Navigating the Results List

  • Click on a hyperlinked grant title to go to an Individual Record display.
  • Click on the 'Next Page of Results' button to view records (if any) beyond the number displayed on the first page of results.

  • Refining Your Query: Use this option to narrow your search if you find your current results set too large or broad in scope (note: your previous search query terms will be included in a search from this form but will not be displayed in the field boxes) that allows you to add terms to your current search.

  • Query Track: Use this option to go to a list of the searches you have done in your current Web session.
  • Download Citations: Click on this link to jump to the Citation Manager at the bottom of the page of results.
  • Citation Manager: Use this tool to download or print results. See the section on downloading and printing for more details.
