Introduction to research options

There are a number of different approaches that you can use to find relevant information using your CCH Web products. These include:

1. Navigating/browsing the Table of Contents and Index of a specific book.
2. General search using the search panel.
3. Specific search in a specific book, using search forms.
4. Advanced search (available from November 2003)

All options are useful, depending on your specific search need. You could, for example:

• Browse the Table of Contents and Index as you would a print product. This is helpful if you have a general topic in mind, but are unsure of how to formulate the search.
• Conduct a general search across a number of books or products if you are unsure of which book or product to find the information in.
• Conduct a general search in a specific book when you know in which book will you find the information.
• Conduct a specific search in a specific book using search forms when you know the paragraph number, case name, headnote, etc.
• Use an Advanced Search search form to create a multi-part search query without having to use complex search techniques such as boolean connectors (available from November 2003).

These research options can be used across all the CCH range of online subscriptions.
