# Results layout and fields shown

![](/files/-MXqqjw7_F3-LuAhRd_z)

### Result coulumns

The results can be divided into multiple columns (by default 1).

Setting multiple columns will yield the following layout.

### Viewport size and scrolling

The plugin dynamically adjusts the viewport size from the average results height (by default to 4 items). Changing this viewport size will increase/decrease the results drop-down overall height.

![](/files/-MXqrdalB0z4w7kBSlCn)

Setting the viewport to a very high number like 999 will result in a very long results box, without the scrollbar.

### Fields and context

#### Description context

When enabled, the plugin will try displaying the results description from around the search phrase - instead of showing the description text from the beginning. It does it to a certain depth of characters.
