RESEARCH TIPS

Modifying Stored Searches

It is easy to modify Stored Searches, because the Search Results page
always displays the current search at the top of the page, allowing it
to be modified and another search run.

For example, if you wanted to find out about patent law in Kazakhstan
you could go to the Kazakhstan page on World Law/DIAL. Click on the Stored
Search - Search All World Law: Kazakhstan - this gives over 7000 items
concerning law and Kazakhstan. To find items only about patents, add the
words 'patent near' to the Stored Search terms '(kazakstan* or kazakhstan*
or kazachstan or kazajstan or cazaquistao orkasachstan or kazakistan )' and
click on Search again.
