Working with Document Lists

Contents:

When you browse or search using iPlanet Compass Server, lists of relevant documents are displayed in a document list. Document lists are grouped into sets for your convenience.

A typical document list looks like this:

Search Results List 

List Headings

Each list begins with a heading such as: The numbers to the right of the list heading indicate how many categories or documents are in the list:

Relevance Indicators

Documents and categories found in a search are sorted according to how closely they meet your criteria, with the best matches listed first. (Documents listed by category do not have any relevance indicators.) The relevance scores and the varying width blocks to the left of each title indicate how closely that item meets your criteria. Greater relevance scores are associated with wider score blocks and indicate better matches. There will be no block at all for zero relevance matches; this can occur when you use a single space character as your search criterion, which retrieves all indexed documents.

Document Names and Titles

Each document the list has a title and every category has a name. These names and titles are links to the actual categories and documents. Click the names to view the document or go to the category.

Note: A document title may not be the same as the title that appears on the first page of the document when you view it. The title shown in the document list is the search title, not the formal title. For example, when you view a document the formal title might read: About Netscape Communicator, but the search title shown in the document list might be Netscape Communicator | Overview.

Document Descriptions

Descriptive information about each document is displayed below the item's title. The type of document description displayed will vary according to what information is available about each individual document.

Document information might include:

Your administrator decides what information is available for each document, however, you can control the overall level of detail in your document list. Use the Show dropdown list to determine which of these levels of detail your document list uses:
