SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION


Sorting search results
You can determine how your search results will be sorted by selecting options during your search query. A database must be full-text indexed to produce sorted results.

To change the sort option for search results, click More in the Search bar and select an option in the "Sort results by" drop-down list. Options are described in the following table:
OptionSorts results
relevanceAccording to number of matches per document, with the highest number at the top of the list.
last modifiedPlacing those with the most recent modified date at the top of the list.
first modifiedPlacing those with the oldest modified date at the top of the list.
keep current order (sortable)In the order they were already sorted, marking the results as selected (checked). If the database is designed to allow it, you can sort results by clicking the small triangles in the column headers.

Note If you use this option when you search a categorized view such as the one in the Discussion database, the same matching document may be listed in the search results multiple times. This occurs for any matching document that contains multiple values in its category field -- the document is listed once for each assigned category. In the results count displayed in the status bar and the Search bar, Notes counts such a document only once.

show all documents (sortable)All documents, marking the results as selected (checked). If the database is designed to allow it, you can sort results by clicking the small triangles in the column headers.
Note When you search in the Calendar view, sort options are limited to "keep current order (sortable)" and "show all documents (sortable)."
