There are now two refinements for Connecticut opinions, including the new refinement and a Connecticut Supreme and Appellate Opinions refinement. After you do a keyword search, tabs (refinements) above the results should appear. You can click on these tabs to filter your results. One thing to remember is that if you clicked on a refinement and then do a new keyword search, you will only be searching within that refinement. To get the full search engine results back, remember to click on the "All" tab.  ]]><![CDATA[What's Not Online For Free?]]>Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:00:21 -0800http://www.ctlawsearch.com/1/post/2010/10/whats-not-online-for-free.htmlI wrote the short article below. It appeared in the October 2010 Obiter Dicta, the Southern New England Law Librarians Association newsletter.
In short, the emergence of many impressive sources of free online legal information does not presage the end of public law libraries. ]]><![CDATA[Autocompletion of Queries]]>Mon, 24 May 2010 20:04:16 -0800http://www.ctlawsearch.com/1/post/2010/05/autocompletion-of-queries.htmlI've enabled autocompletion of queries for the Connecticut Law Search Engine. According to the custom search blog, the autocompleted queries are generated from content on the websites included in the custom search engine. In other words, the autocompletions are customized for each search engine. Very nice! Here's a screenshot:

The case law page searches recent Connecticut opinions, US Supreme Court opinions, selected F2d and F3d opinions, and selected Connecticut bankruptcy opinions. The codes page searches the US Code and Connecticut statutes. ]]><![CDATA[Welcome!]]>Sun, 18 Oct 2009 08:13:35 -0800http://www.ctlawsearch.com/1/post/2009/10/welcome.htmlWelcome to the redesigned Connecticut Law Search Engine. The underlying custom search engines haven't changed, but the web address and site design have. When I make any substantial changes to the search engine or to the site, I'll post about it here.]]>
