Quick Search Tips

1. Use lower case letters
2. 'Search in Name' means 'Search in Title'
3. Do not punctuate a search. Special characters such as .,/,(,)," etc are not indexed. Only characters and numbers are indexed. Spaces should replace special characters in a search (for example, instead of searching for s.51(g) search for s 51 g).
4. 'Stemming' is applied automatically, (for example, entering a search for kill will retrieve kills, killing, killed). To deactivate stemming, enclose the search term in double quotes (for example "kill").
5. For more tips see the Quick Reference sheet, or the User Guide (Download RTF).
6. If you know the title/name of the Act,or Regulation then try Browse Databases
