Exploring Search Results
Concept
Keyword Search, Search by Term, Advanced Search, and catalog searches
all return search results in a similar format. The appearance of the search
results can be modified in IMS and the Web Publishing Wizard.
- Number of records online that match your search criteria. On Archives,
Photos, Libraries, and Objects search pages, this will be followed
by the number of records searched.
- The item's thumbnail image is a link to the record.
- The hyperlink will take you to the item's record page. The hyperlink
is comprised of the first two fields you have selected for that record
type in the Web Publishing Wizard. If an item does not have data in
these two fields, the text "View Record" will display instead.
- Additional text for the search result. This will either display
the truncated contents of the third field you have selected for that
record type in the Web Publishing Wizard, or it will be blank. You
can change which option is used in the IMS Site tab.
- The type of record. Note that if you have renamed the Archives,
Photos, Libraries, or Objects navigation buttons, this text will reflect
the change.
- A record with no associated image displays a default "missing
image". This image can be changed in the IMS Site tab.
Note: The number of search results displayed per page can be changed
in the IMS Site tab.
