Customize the Search view layout

You can rearrange the Search view panels so they suit your working habits; you can also hide panels that are not used often.

For example, if you work with different languages, you might want to move the Languages panel up near the top of the view.

    The menu with the panel names is displayed:

  7. Drag the various panels to place them in your preferred sequence.
