Searching Tax Alerts with the Table of Contents

As an alternative to browsing through the contents of Tax Alerts, you may wish to search for information in specific areas of the Table of Contents. Note that Table of Contents searching is independent of Checkpoint's main Search feature, although the procedures are similar.

To perform a search in the Tax Alerts Table of Contents:

1. Click Table of Contents from the Go to menu within Tax Alerts.

2. Expand the Table of Contents as necessary until you locate the entries you wish to search.

3. As shown in the example below, check the entries you wish to search. You can select up to a maximum of 15 headings.

   
   
   Note: By selecting a given Table of Contents heading, you automatically include all its subentries, so you do not need to check them separately. For a more focused search, drill down and select lower level headings.

4. Enter your search keywords in the Search these keywords: field, or select Thesaurus/ Query Tool for these advanced search functions:
   • A previous keywords list is available on the Thesaurus/ Query Tool screen allowing you to choose one of the last 10 keywords you have used.
    
   
   
   • Special search syntax is available to help you refine your search. Choose a search connector from the Append Connectors list.
   • Click the Get Thesaurus Terms for Current Query button to generate a list of your search terms' synonyms that appear in the sources you are searching. To automatically include all synonyms, click the Include all Thesaurus Alternatives in Current Query link.
    
5. Click the Search button to execute your search.

   As with a regular search, your search results appear on the Source List or Document List screens.
