Search results

From the Search results page, you can use the Toolbar to view context-sensitive Help, open the top level Table of Contents, start a fresh search or refine your original search.

The Search results page displays the results of your search in context and it is arranged so that all levels of data are displayed down to the occurrence of the hit. In the case of a Keyword search the hit will be displayed in a line of context with five words either side. Each hit is indicated by a hit icon in the line of context. Where your search consists solely of non-keyword elements, for example if you search for all works of a particular poet, the Search results will display all poems by that particular poet.

In the line above the Search results display, you will see the number of occurences of your search term(s) and the number of entries in which your search term(s) appears. Also, if the Search results spans more than one page, the number of pages will display. As these page numbers are linked to the relevant page, you can use these links to navigate your way through the Search results.

Only five hits per work are displayed, and if there are more hits contained in a work than are shown, the link [View context of all hits in this work] is displayed below the entry. Click this link to display the Context of results screen, which gives a full listing of hits. From this screen you can link to the previous work, next work, or return to the Search results screen.

You can download the Full text of any poem by selecting it in the Search results. Each level displays the download size in bytes of the corresponding Full text page.

Note: The larger the download size of an item, the longer the Full text will take to download.
