Page navigation - At the top and bottom of your results page, there are forward and back arrows, and a counter telling you how many pages of results there are. If your search finds less than 20 jobs then this feature will not show.

Show me... - This function allows you to view jobs posted by direct employers, those posted by employment agencies or jobs posted by both groups. You can also sort the results to show the most relevant first or the most recent first.

Sort by – This dropdown list allows you to sort your results by relevance, date posted or salary.

Edit distance from location - If your search has a location in it you are able to specify a radius around that location that you would be prepared to find jobs in. This function allows you to change this radius by selecting from a range of distances. You can select anywhere from 0 miles radius all the way up to 100 miles radius.

Edit/ change your keywords - If you wish to refine your existing search rather than do a new search, type in any more keywords you may have, and click on 'search'. This will search the whole category for those keywords, using the other criteria you specified on the search page.
