Setting Up Groups of Pre-Defined Limits

You can set up groups of pre-defined search limits. That way, users can choose more than one pre-defined limit for each search. As you set up a group of pre-defined limits, you set up a “limit box” and then choose which pre-defined limits will be included. Here is an example of the limit boxes you can set up to display on the Power Search and Advanced Search pages:
