Tutorial

Searching for a Document

1. Click on “Log In.”
2. Log in with your Username and Password.
3. Click on the link to the case you wish to view.
4. Find the “Search” Box on the top right-hand side of the page.
5. Enter the word(s) you wish to search for in the space provided.
6. The box to the right should continue to say “This Collection.”
7. Click “Go.”
   
   NOTE: If you know the approximate date that the document was posted (i.e. between August 10, 2006 and August 18, 2006, you can easily locate the document in the August 2006 Uploads by Date folder which is located within the Uploads by Date folder on the main page.

Advanced Searching

Follow Steps 1 through 5 Above, then...

6. Click on “Advanced” to the right of the “Go” button.
7. The first box should have “This collection and sub-collections” checked. Leave this as is.
8. To the right of “Search Within,” click the arrow to the right of “Maximum Results” to raise the amount of search results you will receive. We recommend setting it at 500 so that nothing is missed. You can also change how your results are sorted by clicking the arrow to the right of “Sort Results.” “Ranked Order” will sort the results by how many of the words you’ve entered accurately match the words found in the documents and document titles. You may also opt to sort results by “Date,” “Type,” etc.
9. In the section titled “Search Text Contained In,” leave the boxes so they continue to read “Where any part” + “Contains.” Then enter a word to search for. To add terms to your search click on the “+ search term” link to the right of the blank box.
   
   NOTE: For more accurate searching, first enter the name that CaseHomePage has designated for your case. This name will be the first word in all titles of the documents on the site, or the name in the (“ “) at the beginning of the title for the link to your case. You can find this word at the top of the page next to “Location” and to the right of “Home” (see example below).
   
   

10. Then “+ add search terms” such as “Status Conference Statement” or individual case numbers and captions.
    
    NOTE: It is best to use EITHER the “Search Text Contained In” or the “Limit Search to Date Range.” Using both at the same time will limit your results. You can also find documents sorted by date in the “Uploads by Date” folder in your case folder list.
11. In the section titled “Object Types to Search,” select either “All Object Types,” which will search for everything including bulletin board and calendar items, or select “Limit Search to Selected Object Types” to specify a type. We recommend the latter and ONLY selecting the box next to “Document” as it is the most accurate.
12. In the next section titled “Document Types to Search,” do not change anything.
13. Then hit “Search.”
    
    NOTE: Search results will vary by words used. Individual caption names and numbers may need to be entered a variety of ways (i.e. GIC846208 or GIC 846 208 or GIC 846208) as people format their documents differently. You may hit the “Back” button on your browser to change your search entries. If you are still having trouble finding a document, call or email your Case Manager.
