Setting Search Preferences

You can set the preferences to refine the search you want to perform. For example, after obtaining the results of a Search or Find, you can resort the results by setting your search parameters, so that it is easier to find the items that you want.

To set search preferences

1. Do one of the following:
   • From the Search screen, click the Search Preferences tab
   • Choose Navigate > Site Map > Search > Search Preferences.

     The Search Preferences screen appears.

2. To change the scope of your search, choose from the options in the following table.

   Option	Comments
   Number of Records	From the drop-down list, choose the number of records to display on each page in the Search Results page.
   Results Window	Check if you want the search results displayed in a new browser window.
   Default Sort	Choose how you want to sort the search results. The default is to sort by data source. Data source is supported for integration with FAST but is not supported for integration with Oracle SES. Other sort options are date, relevance or result type.
   Context Sensitivity	Choose between Context-Sensitive or Persistent.
   Criteria Reservation	Clears the search or resume from the previous search.

3. Click Save Preference.
