All Documents is one of three views on the Search Results screen. Within this view, you have a choice of sorting results by Relevance or Table of Contents. You can quickly switch between the two using the Sort By: option at the top of the Search Results screen.
Sort By: Relevance | Displays documents ranked in order of Relevance to your search criteria (starting with the most relevant, which is determined by a sophisticated algorithm that analyzes each document). Gold stars next to each document title indicate the relative score for your search query (with five gold stars being the most relevant). |
Sort By: Table of Contents |
Displays results in the order in which they appear in the table of contents of each source you specified in the search parameters. The source name appears in green text at the bottom of each item in the Search Results list. |
The Search/Display area of the Options screen lets you change the default setting to All Documents, Table of Contents, Source List, or Use Last method.
The All Documents view shows the following:
Title of documents that contain your keywords, followed by the first instance of keywords (highlighted in yellow) in the document, surrounded by the 25 words that immediately precede and follow the keywords to give you an idea of the context. (Show Words Around Hits is the default setting that enables this feature. If you want to disable the feature, you can click the Hide Words Around Hits icon in the document tools or you can change the setting in the Search/Display area of the Options screen.) Click the document title to view the document contents.
Note: Links to previously viewed documents appear in purple text. Checkpoint clears all previously viewed documents every 24 hours at midnight and the text changes back to blue.
