Using Search

1. You can search from any page in the Civil Law Practice Area. Look for the Search box. Type your search in the text box and click the Search button.You can also click "Advanced Search" to access more Search features.

2. To use Advanced Search, enter your search and search restrictions. Then click the Search button. The search below will search for Library item containing the phrase "fair housing" and the words "landlord" and "tenant" that were submitted to the ARC in the last 3 months.

4. Still having problems? Here are a few common mistakes using Search:

• Make sure you are searching from a Civil Law Practice Area page. If you search from the Public Area (www.advocateresourcecenter.org Home page, for instance), you won't find resources in the Civil Law Area (such as Library items).
• ARC Search does not work like Google. When you type in a search such as: divorce Washington statute of limitations, Search will look for that exact phrase as if it were surrounded by quotes. Instead, search for: divorce and Washington and "statute of limitations". See Search Tips above for more hints.
• Use Advanced Search to speed up your searches. The Search tool is very thorough but a little slow. You can speed up your searches by using Advanced Search to restrict your search to the specific tool in which you want to find results (Library, Roster, Email Groups, Calendar, etc).
