In the search main panel, you can further restrict the search scope to streamline the returned results.
Sorting your results
By selecting the Sort By drop-down menu, you can narrow your search results.
Relevance: This type is set by default for search and in the descending order. This means the search results will be sorted by the connection with the entered terms. The top result is one which has the closest relevance with the entered term.
Date: This type displays results by the last created/modified date in the descending order.
Title: This type displays results by their title based on the ascending (alphanumeric) order.
Note
If you select each Sort option again, the order type will be changed. This means "ascending" is changed into "descending" and vice versa.
Filtering your results
The Filter By panel is displayed on the left side, allowing you to control the search range by sites and content types.
All Sites: A list of sites on which the search action is performed.
All Content Types: A list of content types by which the search action is performed.
By default, all checkboxes are ticked. To exclude some result types from the results page, simply untick the corresponding checkbox.
