Grant Search Results Screen
The Grant Search Results Screen displays your results in four columns: Grantmaker Name, State; Recipient Name, Location; Year Authorized; and Grant Amount. The order in which the results are displayed depends on the sort options you selected on the preceding Search Grants Screen (unless you conducted a Power Search). The default sort order is Alphabetic and Ascending, which displays results by Grantmaker Name from A to Z. You can re-sort your results by clicking a column heading. Clicking Grant Amount, for example, will sort the list by grant amount from highest to lowest. Clicking a second time will change the display to ascending order. A small arrow will appear within the column heading of the column that has been sorted, pointing up or down to indicate the order in which the information is being displayed.
The Grant Search Results Screen has several components:
Guided Search
Located on the left side of the screen, the guided search options enable you to broaden or narrow your search directly from the search results screen. The options provided are relevant to your current search criteria and your current search results.
To broaden your results, unselect a check box associated with your current search criteria. For example, unselecting the check box associated with a Recipient Type term you used to construct your search strategy will broaden your results to include records that contain any Recipient Type term.
To narrow your results, click on an index entry under any category in the Narrow Your Results area. For example, clicking on an index entry under Recipient Type in the Narrow Your Results area will narrow your results to display only the subset of records containing that particular Recipient Type index entry. The number in parentheses to the right of an index entry indicates the number of grant records available in your current results for that entry; index entries are displayed in descending order based on this number. If more than ten index entries for any one category are associated with the grant records in your current results, navigation links will appear above the entries for that category. Clicking Next 10 takes you to the next set of up to ten entries. Clicking Prev 10 takes you to the previous set of ten entries.
To hide the guided search options to conserve screen space, click the "hide" link. When you hide the guided search options, a criteria line will appear at the top of the page displaying the criteria associated with your current search results. To view the guided search options once again, click the "show" link.
