 VuFind® can pull data from a wide variety of sources. This page describes various ways in which users may be guided through diverse forms of data.
-// Most of the features on this page were introduced in VuFind® 2.1 and are not available in earlier versions. Functionality was expanded in VuFind® 3.0 to allow multiple filtered views of the same search backend to be presented as tabs or result columns. //
 ===== Multi-Column Search =====
 It is often useful to perform searches in parallel and display the results in a multi-column format.  This can be achieved with VuFind®'s CombinedController.  To set up this feature, simply copy combined.ini from the config/vufind directory into your [[configuration:local_settings_directory|local settings directory]]'s config/vufind subdirectory.  The comments in the file will guide you through configuration.
-Tip: Prior to VuFind® 2.3, the default template is designed to work best with only two columns of search results; starting with 2.3, extra configuration options in combined.ini give you additional control over the layout.
 Tip: If you want to make multi-column search your default result screen, just set the defaultModule setting in config.ini to "Combined."

 Starting with VuFind® 9.1, if applied hidden filter parameters do not match any configured tabs, a "Custom Search" tab will be displayed. This behavior can be disabled by customizing the temporary_search_tab_title translation string to be empty.
