Unique Enhancements Highlight Release of LexisNexis Total Search v. 3.1
New release includes significant upgrades in back-office feature/functionality as well as several end-user enhancements
DAYTON, OH, July 15, 2005 - Following up on its latest successful launch from earlier this year, LexisNexis U.S. today announced the release of LexisNexis® Total Search v. 3.1, the company’s premier integrated search tool for the legal industry and practitioners of law. LexisNexis is a leading provider of legal, news and business information.
LexisNexis Total Search is an integrated search service that applies the precision of LexisNexis searching capabilities and the exclusive authority of Shepard’s® Citations Service to the collective expertise that is often buried deep within internal document collections. One search finds existing internal pleadings, depositions, memos, deal documents and motions together with cases and codes, news and business sources, and analytical content all through the familiar lexis.com® service user interface.
According to Marvin P. Pastel, II, shareholder, Becker & Poliakoff, P.A., a firm which is currently deploying LexisNexis Total Search v. 3.1, "With the wide-range of practice areas and geography covered by our firm, it is imperative that our research and information gathering practices and procedures are in-depth and completely comprehensive. We selected LexisNexis Total Search in order to achieve this level of information management so that in the end, our clients receive the best service and results."
This latest version of LexisNexis Total Search includes significant improvements in ease-of-deployment and maintenance for the administrator, including:
- Advanced and automated document filtering which allows administrators to set up filters based on document metadata
- Ability to schedule multiple start/stop times for each document source
- Ability to choose which metadata fields appear as categories in a search drilldown
- Improved and simplified product installation
LexisNexis Total Search v. 3.1 also provides enhanced ease-of-use for end-users, enabling them to:
- Cross-reference non-case law, non-law review/journal citations, including statute citations and covering patents, constitutions and other citation types
- Highlight and jump from search term to search term appearing in the search result set
- View abbreviated versions of large documents with links to the full documents
"Several of these new features are unique to LexisNexis Total Search and will result in easier navigation and better research results for legal practitioners," said Joe Swimmer, director, LexisNexis Total Search. "This release also provides a powerful platform for future enhancements and for building new modules that will create even greater value for legal practices using Total Search."
The prominence of LexisNexis Total Search in the legal industry has been recognized by several leading industry organizations. Most recently, the application was awarded the 2005 CODiE Award for the Best Solution Integrating Content into an Application. Additional awards and recognitions include being named a finalist for the 2005 "Favorite New Legal Product" TechnoLawyer @ Award; the 2003 Basex Excellence Award, which recognized LexisNexis Total Search for leadership and technological innovation in the field of Collaborative Business Knowledge; and two consecutive placements on the KMWorld list of "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management."
