Refining your search results
You can refine your search results using Objective Discover. Objective Discover is a separately licensed search refinement module, offering advanced category refinements for your search results. It makes it easy for you to find the documents most relevant to your search and, to uncover information that may otherwise be hidden in your results. When using Objective Discover’s search categories, you can structure information such as object metadata within your search results, and contextually refine the results.
Note: Objective Discover’s category refinements are only available for searches and not queries, and are set by your Objective administrator.

If a category you want is not listed, for example, a particular file extension, exclude all current listed extensions that you are not interested in, then select .
