In order to better scan your Search Results List, you can choose to display the words that surround your search terms on your results list. The system will locate the first few instances of your search terms in the document and will include them along with the words surrounding them right on the results list. This way you can easily recognize whether the document is relevant to your research question.
You can turn this feature on and off within Preferences or Search Tools.
Options set on
your Search Tools template remain in effect during your current research
session only. If you click the Clear Selections or Clear Search link,
those options will be cleared immediately. Use the Preferences link to
have this feature on for all searches you run.
At the Main Menu, select the item you want to search.
Type your search terms in the word search box.
Click the Preferences link and then the Set Search Options tab.
Select Display words around hits on results list under Search Results so that there is a checkmark next to that item.
Click the Search button to execute your search with this option.
