Use the Search Within Results filter to find documents within your results that contain specific search terms.

Note: If you are viewing your results in the Cases category, Category is not displayed in the Narrow By pane because your results are already narrowed to the Cases category and can't be narrowed any further. However, some categories, such as Analytical Materials can be further narrowed down, so the subcategories are displayed under Category when you are viewing your results from the Analytical Materials category. The categories and headings in the Narrow By pane depend on the kind of search you ran. For example, a legal search may have headings for Federal and specific states under the Jurisdiction category. Results for a Shepard's ® search may have headings for Warning, Caution, Positive, etc. under the Analysis category. Documents may appear in more than one category. For example, case law documents would appear in the "Cases" category, in one of the jurisdictions, and would also contain a number of keywords and/or citations. To return to a previous results set after filtering one or more times, select the Clear link under your selections at the top of the Narrow By pane to close that version. When you have closed all the versions, your original results are displayed on the right side of the results view.
