Choose your search terms carefully to retrieve most relevant documents. If unsure, refer to the Planning your Research module of this tutorial.

Example: to find cases on the subject of native title claims, useful terms and phrases include:

• native title
• claim!

Note: the truncation symbol for LexisNexis AU is !
