ToCreateaSearchAlert
TIP: To get the best, on-target Alert results, refine your search before saving it as an Alert.
- Use search terms that are specific to your research, joined by connectors to define the relationships of the search terms, i.e., medical negligence and clinical negligence
- Avoid terms that are too general, such as “illness” or “behavior” as well as noise words such as “the” and “if”
- Use Search Filters (Pre & Post) to further refine your results prior to saving it as an Alert (i.e., Court, Practice Area, Legal Topic, etc.)

TIP: To set an Alert to retrieve all articles from a specific publication on a daily basis, we recommend searching on a common term such as “the,” which may be found in all articles.
You can set up an Alert on a specific publication using the source post search filter from a regular search (no need to go through “Browse Sources”).
