  4. ICA-AtoM searches all fields of all archival descriptions and displays results on the search results page
  5. The search results page displays the search query and the total number of results. By default, ICA-AtoM displays results ten at a time, providing pagination at the bottom of the page to allow users to navigate through long lists of results. Administrators can increase or decrease this default number (See items per page).
