Limit By - option to limit search query by another field

Limit by option can be used to limit the search results based on the different field options provided such as by classification or Assignee etc. Using this feature you can see only those Classifications or Companies that have matched your existing search query. So, this brings greater efficiency when restricting your data set at the search query stage itself.
