Understanding the All Documents Screen

The All Documents screen displays, for each source in the Source List, the document titles that meet your search criteria.

The order of the items in the All Documents list depends on the options you select in the Search Results Options area of the Options screen.

You can elect to have your results ranked in order of relevance (starting with the most relevant, where relevance is determined by a sophisticated algorithm that analyzes each document); or have them listed in the order in which they occur in the Table of Contents. The gold stars next to each document title indicate the relative relevance score for your search query (with 5 gold stars being the most relevant).

The All Documents screen shows:

For Terms & Connectors search results, click the Display Words Around Hits check box to view, beneath each document title, the first instance of your keyword(s) in the document surrounded by the 25 words that immediately precede and follow it. This provides you with some idea of the context in which your keyword occurs.

For Natural Language searches, click the Display Best Section link to display the document section that best matches your query.

Use the All Documents screen navigation tools to browse your search results summary.
