Strengthen Your Search Results Using “Search Within Results” Segments

The ability to fine tune your search results has never been easier on Lexis+. The Search Within Results post-search filter gives you the ability to include or exclude certain keywords.


But you can get even more specific by using the advanced search segments once you click into that search box. The segments are unique pieces of a document such as Party Name, Court, or Attorney Name. By default, the Search Within Results box will be applied across an entire document, but using a segment will limit (or exclude) to just the term(s) applied to that specific segment.

 


For example, you can use Party Name to limit these results for Meta. The filter as applied to the results will appear beneath the initial search terms at the top.

This helped reduce the results from 136 cases to only two.
