Refining search results

Criteria for filtering

On the left of the search screen, there are facets to filter and limit search results. Here are the criteria for filtering.

 

The numeral in parentheses next to a criterion shows the number of records filtered by the criterion.

In order to lock criteria

You may lock particular criteria throughout the session. Mouse over an active filter and you will see a padlock-shaped icon . All you have to do is just click the icon. The criterion becomes persistent throughout the session then.

Click the padlock-chaped icon once again to unlock.
