Endeca Search and Browse Features : Search Within

The search within function enables users to find specific information within an existing search result set.

Benefits and Usage:
Use the search within function when:

• Users prefer or expect keyword search refinement to reach specific information targets.
• The body of content is large or rich enough that the risk of returning no results is minimized, and keyword search refinement will most likely enable users to quickly find specific targets.

Example:
User Searches for "Metal Detector" 



Further user wants to search specific information within search result set and searches for "alminum"


Challenges:

• If the search and search within functions are both accessed through a common search box, users may have difficulty recognizing and distinguishing between the two functions.
• The search within function can generate no results, unlike faceted navigation.
