Map Extent-Intersects Settings

Selecting this option on the Voyager toolbar displays all indexed items whose spatial extent intersects with ArcMap’s map extent.

Using the Selection Option

This setting displays indexed items that are within the selected area on the map.

Selection-Intersect Setting

This setting displays indexed items whose spatial extent intersects with the spatial extent of the selected area.
