If you click on the triangle pointing to the document title, you will see a "Quickview", or a complete view of the document's content without leaving the search results table. Simply click on the downward pointing arrow to close the Quickview. This Quickview feature is modified specially for those using screen readers, so these triangles can be engaged by a keyboard, specifically by the spacebar.

The dropdown arrow has been clicked for one of the documents, showing the Quickview of the document. The dropdown arrow on the left is circled in red.

The highlighting continues to highlight the document under your cursor, even if the QuickView is displaying content. KB Admins may disable this feature, please see Quickview.
