Using Limits to Narrow Your Search
You can focus your search by applying various limits to your search statements.
On the main Search or Search Builder page, click
to open the Limit Your Search page.
- Select the limit values you want to apply. For information about a limit, click on its linked field name. To remove a limit, reset it to its default "any" value (that is, "Any Year" or (any value) and so on.)
- Note: The limits listed on this page may not appear in every database you search. This means the limits may not retrieve all possible records from a multiple-database search. For more accurate search results, use limit fields that exist in all databases.
- Click Set Limits.
- The limits you selected now appear in the Current Limits: field on the Search and Search Builder pages. They apply to all searches until you clear them, set other limits, change databases, or logout.
