Search tactics (quick reference)
- Phrase search for statutory citations and unique contract clauses.
- Boolean blocks for (A OR B) AND NOT C.
- Proximity where the platform supports it — co-location of two payment codes, for example.
- Facets to isolate date ranges and file types before deep reading.
