In Details mode (default) the variables of ALL results are displayed, which possibly results in a wide table (if many catalogs have been searched or the search provides different parts). So possibly fields remain empty, if the respective part does not contain certain variables.^[37]

Variable filters in the column header

At the top of each column you can see an input field for filtering. Even if not all hits are displayed in the search results, the filter affects all hits and the display of table variables is dynamically adjusted. You can filter a number of variables one by another, already entered values remain.

You can position interesting variables further forward by drag & drop with pressed mouse button in order to view them at a glance.
