Result List

The Result List page includes features to help you get the most out of your search results.

Value Description
Search Terms Trail

The terms for your search are displayed in a "trail" in the upper left of the Results page. If you perform a Search Within search, which narrows the results of your initial search, the terms of your initial search will be followed by a > and then the terms of the Search Within search. For example, if you performed an initial search on ethanol, then a Search Within search on "corn", the trail would look like this:

ethanol > corn

Serial Set Maps

If a map is available, a MAP-SHEETS area will be included in your full document. The following options are available for maps:

Thumbnail
Click one of the links to either show or hide all available thumbnails. A thumbnail is a small version of an image, linked to the larger version.

Note:

Some browsers may not recognize all download types. For instance, you may see an error that says that files with a type of jp2 are not recognized by your browser. JPEG 2000 is an image compression standard that operates at higher compression ratios than jpg, allowing for multiple resolutions, progressive display, tiling, region of interest coding and many other advanced features. Although the browser may not recognize the jp2 format, it is a normal, valid image format.
