| Search History
allows the user to re-execute or edit any previous search performed
in the current session. |
Using Search History
Select the  button
from the top button bar to view a table of previous searches (at
least one search must be completed for the button to be available).
Note: when searches are re-executed, any Search
Limits that are currently in effect will be applied. However,
previously set Search Limits will no longer be available (they can
be reset by the user prior to re-executing the search from Search
History).
The Search History display has four columns: 
- Select to Edit - searches are listed in the order entered,
most recent first; select a number to edit search terms, reset
options, etc.
- Hits - the number of catalog records retrieved
- Type of Search - the search method used (e.g., Subject,
Name, Keyword, Command Keyword, etc.) shown
as a hypertext link; select to re-execute the search
- Search Query - the word or phrase searched (including
Boolean operators and punctuation) shown
as a hypertext link; select to re-execute the search
Search History Tips:
- Select the hyperlinked text in the Type of Search
or Search Query columns to re-execute the search.
- Select the number in the Select to Edit column
to edit the search on the search method screen originally
used.
- The Search History does not retain information
about Search Limits. When a search
is re-executed or edited, any current limits in effect will
be used instead of limits previously specified.
- Selecting [Start Over], located on button bar at
the top of the screen, causes the Search History
to be cleared. Select [New Search] to search again
without clearing the Search History.
- Subject Browse, Author/Creator
Browse, and Call Number Browse
searches display the legend Index Browse in the Hits
column instead of a number. These searches are set to "browse"
the catalog, rather than return a distinct set of records
that match the search.

Use the browser's [Back] button to resume searching.
