After running your search query, your results will populate immediately. Once search results appear you are able to perform many additional actions related to the data. Some of these actions include using filters to narrow your search further, adding tags and/or custom fields to organize your data, or saving your search query to make searching more efficient in the future. In order to take meaningful action on your search results it’s important to understand how to view your results. This article will help you learn how to manage your results view, view file details, and view extracted text within the file.
