Tip of the week
The Search Box
While LexisNexis Practical Guidance is structured in a way that allows you to easily browse to the content you need, you can also easily search for information directly, if you already know what you‘re looking for.
Using the search box on your practice area homepage, you can either:
- Search across all documents using the “All” tab; or
- Search across documents of a particular type by clicking one of the other content type tabs.
Keywords can either be searched for within the title or the body of the document using the radio buttons in the search box. Selecting “Title” will restrict the search to phrases that appear in the title of a document, while selecting “Full text” will search for those terms across the title and body of a document.
Multiple terms within a single search will be treated as an exact phrase. If you are searching for terms which may not appear as a direct phrase, you will need to use Boolean connectors.
