Filtering your Search Results
The Janes knowledge base is extremely large, with a full subscriber having access to more than 750,000 documents via main search.
Whilst the best efforts are made to display the most relevant content at the top of the results list it may often be necessary to make further refinements to your search results.
A quick and easy way to refine results is to use the tabs above the search results grid. You can choose to see all results or just news, country profiles, equipment profiles and so on. Profiles will act as a point in time reference document providing in depth coverage of a piece of equipment, a country or a company. For the most up to date, breaking information you may need to refer to news and insight. For structured information, i.e. inventories information it is advisable to use the Data & Analytics tab which will mostly consist of spreadsheets.
For more advanced refining options use the filters on the left of the screen. These filters can be expanded multiple levels:
- Subjects: i.e. Armed Forces, External Affairs, Security etc.
- Equipment: i.e. C4ISR Systems, Land Vehicles etc.
- Region/Country: i.e. Middle East or France etc.
- Date Posted: date posted on the site.
- Document Type: i.e. Analysis, News, Reference etc.
- Document Format: i.e. spreadsheet, intelligence briefing
- Document Status: Active or archived
- Publication/Section: i.e. All the Worlds Aircraft, Janes Defence Weekly etc.
- NSAG Actors: Non State Armed Groups
- Organisation: i.e. Thales, Saab, etc.
