# Step 3: Choose How to View Results

In the selection menu of the results view, you can choose between three different modes of viewing your search results.  More information about these different options can be found [here](/navigating-and-searching/options-for-displaying-search-results.md).

## Standard view

![](/files/58koKH6twWRVZ8IrRwHw)

In the standard view, results are displayed using preview images. This view is particularly suitable for searching for works of art and images.

## Text view

![](/files/gfjDASGWgTdoRbPB184V)

The most important information in the record is displayed in the text view. This view is particularly suitable when searching for data inside records (e.g. object history, bibliography, or provenance).

## Table view

![](/files/a1Kdo9lbi1Efo0tRFA56)

The table view shows all the information contained inside records, organised in horizontal rows.&#x20;

By clicking on the button with three dots, you can adjust the options in Standard view, Text view, or Table view.  You can include or exclude information visible in the search results, and adjust the number of records displayed on each page, from a minimum of 10 per page to a maximum of 1,000. You can find more about these settings [here](/navigating-and-searching/options-for-displaying-search-results.md).
