LexisNexis upgrades its search

LexisNexis has released Total Search 3.1, the company's premier integrated search tool for the legal industry and practitioners of law. LexisNexis is a leading provider of legal, news and business information.

This latest version of Total Search includes improvements in ease-of-deployment and maintenance for the administrator, including:

• advanced and automated document filtering, which allows administrators to set up filters based on document metadata;

• the ability to schedule multiple start/stop times for each document source;

• the ability to choose which metadata fields appear as categories in a search drilldown; and

• improved and simplified product installation.

Version 3.1 also provides user enhancements, enabling them to:

• cross-reference non-case law, non-law review/journal citations, including statute citations and covering patents, constitutions and other citation types;

• highlight and jump from search term to search term appearing in the search result set; and

• view abbreviated versions of large documents with links to the full documents.
