 === Understanding Search Results  ===
-Once a search has been performed, up to a thousand citations will appear on the “Article Results List” in increments of fifty citations at a time. Article title, periodical title, publishing location, date, volume, and issue number are provided. Clicking on the article title will yield the full citation on an “Article Details” page that will also include all surnames and subjects under which the specific article can be found in PERSI. Clicking on the periodical title on this “Details” page will provide additional information, which is described in the Periodicals search section above.
+Once a search has been performed, the resulting list provides article title, periodical title, publishing location, date, volume, and issue number.&nbsp; The HeritageQuest "Article Results List” will return up to a thousand "hits" in increments of fifty citations per page. Ancestry will return an unlimited number of "hits" in increments of twenty citations per page.
+Clicking on links to the article title in either system will yield the full citation, including more specific information about the publication and at least one repository where the publication can be found.&nbsp; HeritageQuest may list multiple repositories; Ancestry lists only one.&nbsp; In either instance, the publication may be found in more places than listed.<br>
