Extract data values from a field that you select from the list. After you click Analyze, the system produces a report showing the values in ranked order.

For example, you can perform a search on a specific topic or you can generate a list of authors who published articles on that subject.

1. Click Analyze Results on any Results page to go to the Analyze Results page.

2. Select a field to analyze from the list.

3. Select the number of records in the set that you want to analyze. The limit is 100,000 records.

4. Set the display option: Show the top 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, or 500 results.

   Example: If you select Author and top 10, the product searches for the top 10 authors based on the minimum record count.

5. Set the display option: Minimum record count. To be listed in the results table, a value must appear at least this number of times in the set.

   Example: If you select Author and set a threshold of 4, then an author's name is included in the results table if it appears in 4 or more records.

6. Select a sort option.

   • Record count ranks the values from high to low, according to the number of records in which each value (minimum record count) appears.

   • Selected field sorts the list in ascending alphabetical (A-Z) or numeric (0-9) order.

7. Click the Analyze button to go to the Results page.
