How do I filter my search results?

Last updated on May 09, 2024

You can filter your results to limit the entire set of search results to only the results you want to see. Depending on the results’ context, different filter categories will be presented.

By default the first three filters are expanded. Click ‘More’ to browse through all filter items of a given result set.

How

Follow these steps to filter your search results:

  1. Run a search and access the Results page.
  2. Click the appropriate filter option under one of the categories presented in the 'Filters and Analysis' panel to select a filter.
    • To expand the categories, click on the name and the options will drop down.
    • Click ‘More’ below the filter options for a category to see more filter options.
    • To only apply your filter on certain search results, first tick the boxes in front of the documents you’d like to apply the filter on or you'd like to exclude, then click ‘Limit to’ or 'Exclude'.
  3. Once you have selected one or more options, click ‘Limit to’ or 'Exclude' at the top of the ‘Filters and Analysis’ panel.

After completing these steps:

  • Your results will be filtered.
  • You can always return to your previous results by clicking the breadcrumb trail on the top-left side next to your search results. A new breadcrumb will appear on top of an existing breadcrumb for each filter or change you make to your search results. The breadcrumb trail is reset with a new query. All breadcrumbs of a session are stored in the session history.
