Figure 5 – Search results after filters are applied for EBSCOHost

To create a more refined search result, I had selected the sources to be only in pdf format as well as scholarly journals. The results had drastically dropped from a total of 24 results to just one result. This shows that the filters are useful as they can give you the exact one that you will need.

For Variation #3, the following figures show the search results for EBSCOHost.

There was no need to use filters as the first few search results are already quite relevant to the topic.
