To perform a General Search, do the following:
Access the General Search page (to see how, click here).
On the General Search page, select the Date Range of the document you are looking for.
Select the Category.
Select the Library.
If you know it, enter the Docket Number.
If you know it, enter the Sub Docket Number.
If you know them, enter the Document Class and Document Type. Otherwise, leave the default All for the fields.
If you are looking for a document containing a specific word or phrase, enter that word or phrase in the Text Search box.
If you want a different number of results per page, change the default value of the Results Per Page option.
To initiate the search, click the Submit button. This brings up the Search Results page.
On the Search Results page you have several options in selecting specific documents and what you want done with them. Most likely you will want to request a hard copy or CD of the document or documents that you have selected. This is done by creating a request list. You may also make some types of requests directly from the Search Results page.
