search within results

To search only within the set of items returned by an earlier search, using a new term to find matching items in that result set.

In plain English

This narrows the search to items that were already found. You use another word or phrase to look for matches only inside that earlier set, not across all items.

In context

Here, it indicates that a new term entered there will search only within the current set of returned items.

Situation
Using dashboards, tables, filters, sorting, views, and bulk controls
What it communicates
labels a search field limited to the current result set

Meaning limits

The term alone does not say how the earlier results were produced or exactly how matching is determined.

Examples

“After searching for jackets, she searched within the results for wool.”

Core meaning

“After the first list appears, enter another word to search within results.”
