Refining your search area

Refining and optimizing your search area

After submitting a search query, you'll be directed to a results page where you can easily narrow down results using tags, filters, and faceted search tools—all designed to help you find the most relevant content quickly.

Refine section overview

Located at the top right of the search results page, the refine section includes two main tools to streamline your search:

• Tags Tags are topical keywords that group related content. Clicking a tag filters your results to show only content associated with that topic. This helps reduce the number of results and keeps them highly relevant to your search.
  
  
• Filters Filters offer more detailed options in a sidebar view, allowing you to narrow results by content type, location, industry, publication date, and more.

Faceted Search

Faceted search shows the ten most relevant tags for your current query as clickable tag clouds. Each tag displays the number of related results in parentheses. Selecting a tag immediately updates the results—and the available tags—to match your refined query.

Filters options

Clicking "More filters" opens the filter sidebar on the right side of the screen. Here’s how you can tailor your search:

Filter by content type

Filter by specific types like Statistics, Reports, or Market Insights. Each option shows the number of matching results for your current search.

Filter by accuracy

Adjust how precisely your keywords are matched. The default behavior returns results containing all keywords. You can switch to a broader search that matches any of your terms.

Filter by location

Focus your results by country or region to see only location-relevant data.

Filter by industry

Use industry and subindustry filters to target your search to specific sectors and subindustries.

Filter by publication date

Narrow your results by selecting a specific year or date range for content publication.
