Keyword search results are ranked by relevancy. This is intended to bring the best results to the top and to group the remaining results based on relevance to your keyword search term(s).

Results will appear in up to 5 groups depending on search results. Groups are ordered by Date.

• Most relevant This group contains the very small number of items where the primary title contains the search terms as a phrase (e.g. Environmental policy: new directions for the twenty-first century) .
• Highly relevant This group contains the items where the sub-title contains the search terms as a phrase (e.g. Industrial transformation : environmental policy innovation in the United States and Europe).
• Very relevant This group contains items where the search terms are found as a phrase in contents notes, series notes, or subjects (e.g.Toward safer food : perspectives on risk and priority setting which has the search phrase"environmental policy" in the table of contents note).
• Relevant This group contains items where the search phrase is broadened to the Boolean AND search. Words in the search will be pulled from the primary title and/or sub-title. (e.g. Environmental taxation law : policy, contexts and practice).
• Other relevant This group brings in the remaining results matching the search using the Boolean AND from anywhere in the record (e.g. Emissions trading : principles and practice which has search terms "environmental" in one subject and "policy" in another subject).

If no results are found in these groups will appear at the right. Use this button to launch a search of a database of cooperating law libraries.
