SearchMax

I am at the ABA Techshow this week in Chicago and had the opportunity to view the new Total Search product from Lexis Nexis.

It looked very slick but could be labor intensive in that it it only indexes a small percentage of a firms total documents. So someone must review the documents and determine relevancy. Total Search is fined tuned for the legal industry and can capture content that is unstructured and even content that is in Content Management System.

LexisNexis® Total Search is a web browser-based application that expands the boundaries of the LexisNexis Total Research System by letting a user search at www.lexis.com and within their law firm’s internal work product simultaneously fully utilizing its most valuable assets the intellectual property and collective expertise already residing within the firm.
Once LexisNexis Total Search is installed on a firm’s network, users can quickly and easily find relevant work product, including existing pleadings, depositions, memos and motions written by in-firm experts, together with trusted information from LexisNexis – with one search through the familiar user interface of www.lexis.com.
Researching using the LexisNexis Total Search application is essentially the same as researching at www.lexis.com. The difference is that now a user can securely and confidentially search their firm’s internal work product when searching any LexisNexis database or file. Users can then easily review and navigate between both internal and LexisNexis results
