Drilling Down Within Search Results

If you are having trouble finding what you are looking for because your search results have returned too many items or people, consider drilling down within your search results. Drilling down helps you filter your results to a more narrow set of items and people.

To drill down within your search results, click a series of tags that describes what you are looking for. Each tag click narrows your result set to a smaller number of items and people. Additionally, each tag that you click is added to your search query. Continue in this manner until you are satisfied with the number of search results.

On the Search page in Enhanced Mode, each tag that you click appears in sequential order above the tag cloud, with a next to the tag name. You can click to modify your search for different combinations of tags. You can also click in reverse order to "back up" any drilling down that you may have performed within your search results.
