How To Customize the Search Page

The main search page can be customized to reflect the preferred suite of fields displayed for queries, especially those most frequently when searching. When logged in, customization options are saved to the user profile and will automatically display on subsequent logins.

Navigation: Main Page [OR] Search -> Catalog Record

Defaults

Some basic configurations are available under the Presets heading.

Customize

Choose Customize…. … to open a table containing all possible search and results fields.

Options may be added or removed individually or by category.

• Search Options (left side of the form) controls the search form.
• Results Options allows customizing results.
  • Column order may be controlled by dragging.
  • “Cost” will limit the number of records which may be returned.

Definitions are available, shift-click to check or uncheck multiple.

Choose one of your profiles to “seed” the form.

If another user has shared a profile link with you, customizing will seed the form with that information.

Provide a name and click ‘create and use’ to create a new profile.

Pro Tips
