+ | ==== Filtering Your Search Results ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In some cases, your search parameters might return a pool of results | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | To fix this, you might want to redefine your search parameters, as the Web interface suggests. However, this can sometimes result in having to wait a long time for a search to run again. Alternatively, | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | With the new keyword added, the RDMS Web interface will show you only the results which contain the keyword. Thus you can reduce the amount of displayed results without running a new search. The figure below shows what the filtering looks like. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note:** You are filtering the results rather than redefining the search parameters. This means that should you save the search and run it again, you will again encounter too many results. Each time you run that specific search, you will need to manually filter the results. We recommend that for frequently performed searches, you redefine the parameters once you have identified the optimal keyword combination through filtering. |
