We suggest that you experiment with the various ways in which your search results can be displayed. The Collapse Multi-sections Show All Sections option makes search results which contain numerous references to legislation more readable by reducing the number of sections of an Act or clauses of a Regulation which are visible.
If 'Collapse Multi-sections' is chosen, the only the name of the Act or Regulation and the name of the most relevant section or clause is displayed. The search can be further refined by restricting it to a single Act or regulation by clicking on 'More results from this legislation'. If 'Show All Sections' is chosen, every section or clause is shown and ranked separately.
The results are sorted by date order, most recent date displayed first ie reverse chronological order. Legislation is displayed by the date the Act was passed or the Regulation made, not by the date on which a particular section or clause was amended.
Caselaw is sorted and displayed by the date a judgment was handed down. The results are sorted alphabetically by the title of the document, and displayed from a-z. In addition, there is a Collapse Title option which groups the results together based on the first alphanumeric character in the title, that is, 'A' to 'Z' and then '0' to '9'.
The search results are displayed grouped into the databases on which they are located. To view the results from only one database, click on the number of documents next to the name of the database Note: to see the results from all databases again, it is necessary to use the web browser's 'back' button. With this display option, all cases or all legislation can be chosen without using the Advanced Search page to choose database groupings.
If the 'Expand Listing' option is then chosen, the process will be reversed. At the top right of a results page, there is a panel which lists the 'Repeat search over' options which allow you repeat your AustLII search over other collections of data.
The options are:. Where all search results are displayed, an option at the top of a results page on the righthand-side allows you to choose between displaying 10, 20 default , 50 or results per page.

Boolean search Autosearch will recognise a boolean search by the presence of boolean operators in the words for which you are searching.
If you do not want these words to be treated as boolean operators, you must put the phrase of which they are part in double quotation marks ie "dogs and cats" and not dogs and cats. NOTE: Excessive placing of phrases in quotation marks can lead to very slow searching. Note that Autosearch can only deal with a single phrase in double quotation marks.
If you want to search for two or more phrases, you will need to use a Boolean search instead. Unless autosearch recognises your search as one of the above searches, it will default the search type to an any of these words search.
Do not forget that you can override autosearch by explicitly choosing another search type. If you do a search from the Advanced Search Pages , the system switches by default to boolean mode.
The Advanced Search form also allows you to select several other common search types "all of these words", "words in a document title" etc. If you want more than one phrase or word to appear in the retrieved documents, put an and between them. For example, to find documents containing the phrase moral rights as well as the word copyright , you would type: moral rights and copyright. For example, to find documents which contain the words treaty , convention or international agreement you would type: treaty or convention or international agreement.
If you wanted to, you could even put these two searches together - as in: treaty or convention or international agreement and moral rights and copyright. If you want to find two words or phrases which appear close to each other for example, the parties to a case , you can use the near proximity operator.
If you wanted to find cases where Smith sued or was sued by Brown , you would type: smith near brown.
