Once either a quick search or a standard search has been conducted, there are several things you can do from the search results page.
Sorting Search Results
Click a column header in the Search Results page to sort the results by the corresponding column. An Ascending icon ( ) will appear next to the column, indicating that the column is being used to sort the results in ascending order.
- Repeatedly clicking the same column header will toggle between sorting the results in ascending and descending order by the field values displayed in the column. Ascending (
) or Descending (
) icons will be displayed next to the column header to indicate sort order.
- Clicking a column header until the Ascending (
) and Descending (
) icons disappear will return the results to the original sort order.
Saving Searches for Reuse
1. Click the Save As link in the Search Results header. A Save As window will appear within the current page.
2. Type the name to save the search as in the Name field and click OK. The search will be saved with the specified name and will be available for reuse by the current user. (See Opening Saved Searches for more information.) The currently specified column sort order and any conditions specified will be saved with the search. Saved standard searches will also be available for display in home pages as views.
Opening Saved Searches
1. Click the Open link in the Search Results page header. The My Finds menu will appear, listing the standard searches that have been previously saved.
![]() | The Open link will not appear if there aren't any previously saved searches |
2. Select a search in the My Finds menu (in this case, "Search All" is the only saved search). The search will be conducted again, using the conditions saved with the search, and the results page will be displayed using whatever column sort order was saved with the search.
Clearing Search Results
Click the Clear link in the header of the Search Results page. The results will disappear and a find page will open with all conditions empty.
Deleting Saved Searches
1. Click the Delete link in the header of the Search Results page for a saved search. A Delete confirmation window will open in the current page.
2. Click OK. The saved search will be deleted and will no longer be accessible for reuse.
