Help with refining your search results
The results screen has a number of options for refining your search results.
Search again
If you have used the simple, intermediate or advanced search you can add or remove additional terms and run your search again without having to leave the results page.
Breadcrumb
if you have come to the results page via the browse option the breadcrumbing at the top of the screen shows where you are in the topic tree.
Refine search results
To reduce your results to records that only have links to full text tick the 'Full text records only' checkbox and click the 'Go' button.
To view all the search filters choose 'Show all options'. The refine search options are filters that reduce your results by the following areas;
Content type - e.g legislation, guidance, research
Format - e.g book, article, website
Treatment - e.g theory, practical, overview (Currently under development)
Audience - e.g care professionals, research, users and carers (Currently under development)
Note: Since most of the data (articles up to 2005) in the database has been transferred across from Social Care Online's predecessor much of it has not yet been indexed to this level.
