Refining results of multiple-document searches
After you search more than one document, you can use the Refine Results pane to reduce
the number of search results by adding additional criteria. This can save time, because
only the existing results are searched. For example, you can first search for all documents
by a specific author and then define a search query for that subset of documents. The
result is a subset of documents by the specified author and that contain the search string.

To refine the results of a multiple-document search:
1. With the results of the first search still listed, click Refine Search Results at the bottom of
the Search PDF window.
2. Select the options you want, and click Refine Search Results.
You can continue to refine the results by repeating this procedure.
Note: The Search In Bookmarks and Search In Comments options are not available on the
refine results pane.
