Search Filters

Once a search query is performed and results are displayed, refine the results by selecting specific filters. Filters are available on the left pane or by using the column headers in the results grid.

• Filters are not always available and will load dynamically based on results.
• Left hand filters have drop-down selections.
• Grid column headers are freeform text boxes. By clicking on the column header, users can sort the results grid based on that column in ascending (one click) or descending (two clicks) order. To reset back to the default sort from the descending sort, click one more time.

Standard Filters

The search results can be filtered by People, Locations, Organizations, Repositories, and Topics. Select the desired drop-down filter and page through the results or search for a specific filter term.

The results in the grid will filter based on the items selected in the Standard Filters box. The selected tags appear in the Standard Filters box. To remove all tags, click the X in the filter box. Individual filter tags can also be removed.

Suggested Filters

The suggested Filters provide a list of terms that can be applied to narrow down the search. Select People, Locations, or Organizations as the filter type from the drop-down. The resulting selectable filter terms indicate how often these appear in search results.

Selecting a filter will apply the filter to the search results and will move the filter into the Selected section of the Suggested Filters box.

Select the filter again to remove the filter from the search. To use a different filter, select the desired filter from the Available list. Only one filter can be applied at a time.
