New Search Options

We have made some adjustments to the way the AltLaw search engine works. There are now three search options:
The simple search at the top of every page now checks case titles first. This should make it easier to find well-known cases such as Baker v. Selden.
The new boolean search offers power users the ability to construct their own queries using boolean operators.
The advanced search remains the same.
Also, All searches now default to sorting by relevance rather than by date. You can still choose to sort by date by clicking the link at the top of the search results.
Unfortunately, some of the recently-introduced Atom feed links were broken by this change; you can get the updated link by doing a new search.
