At that point the results of the search are listed directly above those options. The results are based on searching the locations you configured it to search. When you click on one of those options a search window opens, displays the results for whichever option you selected and gives you an option to open advanced search. Play with the options in the search window and in advanced search to see how various options affect the results.
