Search Tips
Search for word variations -
Check the "Include word variations" checkbox. This will cause your search to include different versions of the words you are searching for. (Example: A search for "fire" will return "fire","fires","fired",etc...)
Use boolean opperators -
Space
- When two words are separated by a space that is an implied 'AND'. Example:
swimming pool
&& AND
- Requires both terms on either side of the Boolean operator to be present for a match. Example:
swimming AND pool
|| OR
- Requires that either term (or both terms) be present for a match. Example:
swimming || pool
- Requires that the following term be present. Example:
+swimming +pool
- Prohibits a term from being present. Example:
swimming -pool
( )
- Allows you to form groups within your query. Example:
(fire truck) || (fire marshal)
Wildcards -
- Single character wildcard. Example:
Fire????
- multiple character wildcard. Example:
Fire*
Search for a phrase -
Wrap your words with quotes
Note: This search will return anything with "Farm" or "domestic dog". Those words reversed "dog domestic" would not show in the results.
Only search in a specific category -
Type the category name in the category filter text box.
Valid categories are "Title[number]" or Chapter[number]
Exclude a word from your search -
precede the word with a minus sign (Example: "Department of Corrections" -drugs)
Exclude a Title or Chapter -
In the category filter text box precede the Title or Chapter with a minus sign (Example: -Title3 -Chapter7)
Only search in a specific bill or code section -
In the blue filter textbox type the bill number or section number (Example: HB0011 or 3-1-1)
Search only in two categories -
Add another category filter textbox by clicking on the green button.
The results will be in Textbox A or Text box B
Search word proximity -
Add a tilda followed by a number of words away that your words should be. Word order is not important.
Note: In this example you would get results showing "Soccer team" OR the words "donations" and "grant" just have to be within 3 words from eachother.
