Search History

The History screen allows you to re-execute or edit any previous searches you have performed in your current session. To access the History screen, you must first complete at least one search. After you have completed at least one search, the History button will display on the tool bar at the top of the screen.

The History screen lists the number of items (results) found for each search (# of hits), the Search Type (Keyword Relevance, Author Browse, etc.), and the terms searched (i.e., entered to the Search For box).

To perform a previously run search:

1. Click the History button on the tool bar at the top of the screen.
2. Click on a particular search's Search Type or Search For to re-execute the search.
3. If you want to modify the search before running it, click the number in the Edit column to edit it.

Note: The History tab does not retain information about Search Limits. If you re-execute or edit a search, any current limits in effect will be used instead of limits you had specified previously. Click on the Clear Search Limits button on the search page to clear the current limits. Click on the Set Search Limits button to reset the limits used for the previously run search that you want to re-execute.
