- You can search for public documents which include: all words by adding “and”, or at least one of the words listed by adding “or” . Words should be separated by a space.
- Keyword search not only looks for your search terms, but also for words that are similar to those terms. For example, searching for the word "month" would return documents containing the words month or months.
- Note that enclosing a keyword with upper case letters in double quotes does not force the search results to match case.
- Using wildcard characters
If you are not sure of the spelling or other variation used in the document you are searching for, you can use a wildcard character in your search term.
- Use an asterisk (*) to stand for zero or more letters, numbers, or underscore ( _ ) characters. For example, searching for wo*d finds documents containing wood, word, World, or would.
- Use a question mark (?) to stand for one (and only one) letter or number. For example, searching for ?an finds documents containing ran or can, but not span.
Search results can be re-sorted by clicking on the header of each result column.
Public documents can be viewed by clicking the view button. Trade Secret documents appear in the results but are not viewable using the eDockets Search application or the keyword search.
