The Advanced Search form of the Congressional Publications allows you to search on specific segments of a document. The following is a list of the search segments that apply to the U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection.

Contains all bibliographical information and the full text body of the publication from the first word on the title page to the last signatory on the final page.
The committee or subcommittee (if there is one) that either authored the publication or to whom the publication in question was submitted. This segment also includes all Federal agencies, bureaus, commissions, and nongovernmental entities authoring reports submitted to Congress. A complete list of the committees and agencies can be found by using the "Index Terms" lookup links located beneath each search box.
Controlled vocabulary subject indexing. A complete listing of the vocabulary can be accessed using the "Index Terms" lookup links located beneath each search box.
The title as it exists on the actual publication, the descriptive title of the publication, and the section title of executive branch publications enclosed within larger publications in the Serial Set.
Names of witnesses who testified in hearings published as congressional reports or documents (in addition to or instead of being published as separate hearings volumes).
Affiliations of witnesses who testified in hearings published as congressional reports or documents.
The author of a publication, the member of the committee that submitted a congressional report or document, or the President of the United States.
The captions of illustrations as they appear in the actual publication. Illustrations are defined as all non-textual entities that are not tables or cartographic in nature. These include drawings, paintings, photographs, lithographs, and the like.
All Federal agencies, bureaus, commissions, and nongovernmental entities authoring reports submitted to Congress. A complete list of the agencies and other entities can be found by using the "Index Terms" lookup links located beneath each search box.
The names of specific individuals who petitioned Congress for private legislation for relief (i.e., payment) in certain circumstances.
The title of every statistical table included in the Serial Set. For ease of use, the title of multi-page tables containing the same exact title is entered into this search segment only once.
The Serial Set volume number may be used to search by entering the number in any search box on the Advanced Search form and searching under "All Fields Except Full Text".
The assignment of volume numbers begins with number one for the first session of the 15th Congress and continues consecutively to the present. This segment is most useful when used in conjunction with other search segments. For example, you may limit your subject or full text search to just those publications contained within a given Serial Set volume.
