What
fields does the search string search?
It only searched the statement text. Jurisdiction and subject will filter the
output. If no jurisdiction is chosen, the search is implemented across
jurisdictions, which would be the same action for subject.
Is
there a limit to the number of returns if, for example, someone puts in a very
common word? Currently the limit is set at 100.
If your search returns 100 results then the search criteria is probably too
broad.
With
the full text search there are basically 5 types of searches - these search
types can be combined in a single query - here are some examples:
