Search History

  • The Search History screen allows you to re-run or edit any previous searches you have performed in your current session. To access the Search History screen you must first complete at least one search. The Search History button will then display on the tool bar at the top of the screen.

    The Search History screen lists the number of items found for each search (# Hits), the Search Type (Keyword, Title, Author, etc.) chosen, and exactly what you entered as your search term(s).

  • To re-run or edit a search done previously:

    1. Click the Search History button on the tool bar at the top of the screen.
    2. Click on a particular search's Search Type or Search For to re-execute the search.
    3. Click the number in the Edit column to edit the search.

  • The Search History feature does not retain information about search Limits. If you re-run or edit a search, any current limits in effect will be used instead of limits you had specified previously for earlier searches.

TIP: Please note that your search history is maintained only for a single search session. You must use the browser's BACK button to return to your search session after viewing this or other help screens. Using the link for "New Search" will erase the search history and begin a new search session.
