Keyword search results are usually grouped by relevance to bring the most likely titles to the top of the list. Each group represents a similar level of relevance and results are sorted within the group by date or title. To get an ungrouped result set, use boolean operators to form a complex query. The search terms can be grouped with brackets by relevance for an ordered list that way. Each group represents a similar level of relevance and results of each group are arranged in the usual way.
Most relevant titles
Highly relevant titles
Very relevant titles
