Setting up and Using Search Results
Answer
Setting and Using Search Results
You can set the Find Tool to display a count of the records that match your search criteria, or you can display the records in the results list. The number of records that first appear when the results display may only be a fraction of the total results available. However, you can then make all the results display by hitting CTRL + Shift + a. You can also change the maximum retrieval limit (presently 10,000 results) if you feel there should be more results available for your particular search. Please see the following page under The Settings Tab to learn how to increase the retrieval limit.
When you do a keyword or phrase search for bibliographic or authority records, all the bibliographic or authority records are checked for relevancy. Then, the most relevant records are returned in the results list according to the retrieval limits.
Use the context menu (right click) in the Find Tool results list:
