The platform utilizes a state-of-the-art SQLite FTS5 (Full-Text Search) engine, capable of scanning tens of thousands of decisions instantly.

• 📝 All Text
  Contextual Querying Searches deep inside the full body text of every decision. Best used for identifying specific legal doctrines, arguments, or highly technical topics (e.g., "constructive dismissal").
• 🔢 G.R. Number
  Direct Navigation If you already know the specific General Register number, use this to jump immediately to the case without sifting through unrelated results (e.g., "123456").
• 👤 Case Title
  Party Name Search Specifically targets the petitioner and respondent fields (e.g., "People vs. Dela Cruz").

Once you execute a search, the three-column workspace activates, revealing powerful refinement tools in the left sidebar.

• 📅 Year Filter
  Chronological Restriction Isolate results to a specific promulgation year. This is highly effective when tracking how a doctrine evolved during a specific time period.
• ⚖️ Ponente Filter
  Author Restriction Filter results to display only the decisions penned by a specific Supreme Court Justice. Note: Year and Ponente filters can be actively combined to pinpoint specific rulings.
• 🔥 Sorting Methods
  Result Organization Reorder your active results dynamically by 🔥 Relevance (algorithmic matching), 📅 Newest, ⏳ Oldest, or 🔤 Title A-Z.

The right-side Reader pane provides an optimized, distraction-free environment for reading full-text decisions with dynamically highlighted search terms.

• ↩️ Back
  Return to Results Instantly restores your previous search query and scroll position.
• 🔍 Find
  In-Document Search Activates a floating search bar to quickly jump between specific keywords inside the active 30-page decision without losing your overall place.
• ⭐ Bookmark
  Save to Folder Archives the current case into a customizable Research Folder for future reference.
• 🔗 Share
  Deep-Linking Generates a direct URL. Anyone opening this link will bypass the main search and jump directly to this exact case view.
• 🖥️ Fullscreen
  Immersive Reading Collapses all sidebars and expands the document to fill your entire monitor.

For highly technical legal research, you can construct complex search queries using our robust FTS5 syntax operators.

• "..."
  Exact Phrase Wrap your query in quotes to force the engine to find that exact string of words in that exact order (e.g., "due process of law").
• OR
  Logical OR Broaden your search to include documents that contain either term (e.g., murder OR homicide).
• NOT
  Exclusion Eliminate irrelevant results by excluding specific words (e.g., dismissal NOT reinstatement).
• *
  Wildcard Truncation Match the root of a word to capture all its variations. (e.g., acquit* captures "acquit", "acquittal", and "acquitted").
• NEAR/X
  Proximity Search Locate words that appear within 'X' words of each other, ensuring they are contextually related (e.g., dismissal NEAR/5 employee).

Build and maintain a highly organized library of categorized legal research directly within the platform.

• ➕ Create Folders
  Use the 'Research Folders' section in the left sidebar to generate custom categories (e.g., "Corporate Tax Cases", "Client: Smith").
• ⭐ Categorization
  When bookmarking a case, select the specific target folder. Cases saved without a designated folder fall into the 'Uncategorized' section.
• 📝 Notepad Snippets
  When you highlight and save specific text snippets directly from the document reader, those snippets can also be categorized into these same folders for easy briefing.

Easily extract full-text decisions from the platform for offline reading, court submission, or sharing with clients.

• 📄 Word Export
  Downloads the active decision as a fully formatted .docx Microsoft Word file.
• 🖨️ Print Optimized
  Triggers a specialized browser print dialog that strips away the UI and formats the text cleanly for physical paper printing.
• ⚙️ White-Label Personalization
  Access the settings menu to upload your Law Firm's Logo and Name. This custom branding will be automatically injected as an official letterhead on all your exported Word documents.
