Search Tip

Search results are always sorted by Latest Date. When you restrict your search to a smaller timespan (such as Latest 2 weeks), the product sorts all items (both new and old articles) based on the date the documents were added to the product database.

Did You Know ...

The default selection is All Years, where "year" refers to the year that the information was entered in the product database and not necessarily when the document was published.

Did You Also Know ...

The timespan you select will remain in effect until you end your session or until you make another selection.
