The documents with matching search criteria are displayed on the Search Results page. The search results are automatically sorted by relevancy in descending order (i.e. items with the highest relevancy are at the top of the list). Information for each search result includes the following:
- title of the resulting page which links to the actual document
- short summary of the page content
- the date the respective document was last updated
- url indicating location of the content
The default number of search results per page is 20. If there are more than 20 search results in a results set, the first 20 results are displayed on the first page and the second 20 results are displayed on the second page, and so on. If there are multiple pages of results, navigate to any of the search results pages by selecting the following links that are located at either the top or bottom of the search results page:
- Next >: This link navigates to the next search results page. On the last search results page, or if there is only one search results page, the "Next >" text will not appear as an active link.
- < Prev: This link navigates to the previous search results page. On the first search results page, or if there is only one search results page, the "< Prev" text will not appear as an active link.
