The main search bar is stationary throughout HeinOnline. With the one-box search bar, users are able to enter a term and search by full text, author, title, citation, or catalog. For example, let's enter the text "free speech" AND parliament and select the Just Search For option.
Within the results, terms matching the search query appear in bold text within the matching text page snippets. Refine the results using the facets on the left side of the page, which include date, document type, title, and section type. Sort search results by relevance, volume date, or document title. Find cited-by information and access tools such as an instant PDF download on the right side of each search result. Use the icons next to the sort-by bar to modify your current search, search within results, toggle all matching text pages, or turn OFF infinite scroll.
The Advanced Search link located beneath the search bar functions much like the Advanced Search option in other databases, allowing users to search particular fields within the metadata for more precise results. Enter text, title, creator/author, description, or date keywords into the text boxes provided. Refine the search to a specific document type, including Selden Society Publications, Ames Foundation Publications, Welsh Legal History Society, Abridgments, and more.
