This page shows how to view and organize issue
[search results](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/concepts/searches) in Google Issue Tracker.

Search results are limited to issues in the components where you have **View
Issues** [permission](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/concepts/access-control).

## Organize search results

To view and organize search results:

1. [Open Issue Tracker](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/guides/access-ui) in your web browser.

2. Use the search bar, [search builder](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/guides/search-builder), a [hotlist](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/concepts/hotlists) or the
   left-hand navigation to search for issues.

3. Choose the number of results per page you want displayed.

   The number of results per page is controlled by the drop-down button found
   in the upper right corner of the search results page. The button is to the
   left of the numerical summary of your search results.

4. Remove any columns you don't want to view.

   When hovering over a column header, a drop-down button appears. Click the
   button and then click **Remove Column** to hide this information from the
   search results page.

5. Add additional columns you want to view.

   1. Each column has a drop-down button next to the header text. Click the
      button of an existing column that is adjacent to where you want your new
      column.

   2. Choose **Add column right** or **Add column left**. A menu of issue
      fields is displayed.

   3. In the menu of issue fields, click the field you want to add. This
      column is added on the chosen side of the existing column.

6. Change the order of columns by drag-clicking column headers.

   When you move a column, a ghost image of the column header is attached to
   your cursor, and the new location for the column appears as a vertical blue
   line.
7. Click on a column header to sort your results by that column.

   Clicking the same column header multiple times switches between ascending
   and descending order.
8. Navigate to additional pages of results using the arrow buttons.

Issue Tracker remembers your customizations to the general search results page
for future searches. This includes your choice of results-per-page, the columns
to include in search results, the order those columns are presented, and how
issues are sorted. In addition, hotlists and saved searches can each have their
own customizations that differ from your general search customization.
