Tabs

When your search yields results from diverse types of sources, you'll see your results organized into tabs. Tabs group the information you'll find into content areas that contain similar types of documents. The following tabs are available, although not every tab may contain items, depending on your actual search results. Tabs with no results are "grayed out" and will not work. By default, the "first" tab going left to right that contains result will be displayed initially, unless your library has choosen a specific tab to display first by default.

Directly below the tab name you'll find in parentheses a count of the number of results found for that tab. The tab bar may also contain ways to limit your results (or expand results that have limiters imposed). To the far right on the tab bar you'll find the Sort by drop-down list, which allows you to rearrange your results in a different order. When you are viewing a document, the tab will also contain a Results link to go back to your search results list.

You may be able to limit or expand your search results by selecting or de-selecting, respectively, the search limiters that appear below the tab name when you are viewing results. You can also change the sort order of results using the Sort by pull-down menu.

Tabs remain visible whether you are viewing search results or have selected a single document to view. When you leave one tab and click on another tab, the system "remembers" what you last viewed on the tab, until you perform a new search. For example, if you were viewing a document from the Magazines tab, then clicked on the Reference tab to view results, and then returned to the Magazines tab, the previously viewed document will be displayed, not the Magazines results list. To return to your results list from the document dipslay, click the Results link under the tab name.

Note: Searches that target a single type of result will not produce tabbed results. For example, searches of the Dictionary and Publication Searches give you results from a single type of document, so tabs are not needed.
