Both Keyword and Advanced Search have several customizable options.
Results may be returned by relevance or date order. Relevance returns articles based on the number of times key words from a query appear in the article text. Date returns articles in reverse chronological order. If currency is the most important factor, select date. In advanced search, select Lexile Ascending to see lowest Lexile scores first or Lexile Descending to see highest scores first.
Articles in Discoverer are assigned a reading level according to the Flesch Reading Ease scale:
Easy (grades 1-4)
Moderate (grades 5-7)
Challenging (8th grade and beyond)
You may set the search interfaces to search one, two, or all three reading levels by default. If you make no specification, all three reading levels will always be searched.
Reading Level Selectors
If you prefer to always search the reading levels you have specified, the reading level selectors can be hidden. These are visible by default.
Disable Lexile Reading Levels
Disable Lexile Reading Levels if your patrons do not use a Lexile Score in conjunction with a reading program.
