Upon conducting a search, you will be directed to a results page, on which all results are displayed. Here you have several options to further narrow your search.
On the upper right hand side of the screen, you can find the refine section, which includes features designed to help you filter search results and locate content more easily. The two features are namely tags and filters.
Tags are keywords or labels assigned to content that help categorize it by specific topics or categories. When a tag is clicked on, our system will filter the current search results and display only content relevant to that tag. In this way, the number of results are reduced and you can easily find the content that you are looking for.
Filters, on the other hand, provide a sidebar with multiple options to narrow down search results. You can apply various filters based on criteria such as content type, location, industry, or other relevant factors. Our system will then display only results that meet the selected filter criteria, further refining the search and helping uses find the most relevant content.
Facetted Search
With the facetted search feature, the ten mostly used tags among the current search result are shown in form of tag clouds. When a specific tag is selected, the number of results that will be shown is indicated within a parenthesis beside the tag. Upon selection of a particular tag, the search results will be filtered and further tags will be updated based on the current displayed results.
