Getting started - search results
The search results display gives you a quick overview of your search results and easy access to a variety of sorting options for the items in the list.
The parts of the results display include (see Fig. 1 below):

1. The search query summary statement
The query summary statement always appears at the top of the results by
item display. The summary statement echoes the initial search terms, including what area of
the text was specified, the type of search conducted, and the results either for all
collections included in the search, or the current collection selected in the results by
collection menu. Finally, the summary statement indicates what sort order, if any, the results
are in.
2. The results by item display
The results by item display shows the individual items (books, journal articles) in which matches of the query occurred. Initially the results by item display shows all items in list format, with a maximum of 25 items per page. Each item in the list (Fig. 2) contains brief bibliographic information, a summary of occurrences for that item, and several viewing options for that item.

From each item in the list, a viewer has four options:
- results details - will load detailed information about results for that item, showing context for each match of the query. (see Fig. 3.)
- document details - goes to a bibliographic citation for the item and lists all contents for the item.
- view first page - will go to the first page of the item.
- add to bookbag - will add the item to your bookbag.
