Check Your Spelling before Searching
For those of us who rely heavily on spell-check in our daily lives, it is nice to know that you can also use a spell-checking feature before conducting a search on LexisNexis. This function even provides spelling suggestions for the misspelled words!
Take the following steps to use the Check Spelling feature:
- ● Enter your Terms and Connectors or Natural Language search in the Enter Search Terms form.
NOTE: You cannot use Check Spelling with the LexisNexis® Easy Search™ feature or in sources containing a Table of Contents. - ● Click Check Spelling to highlight misspelled words and display up to three Spelling Suggestions per misspelled word.
- ● Select one of the Spelling Suggestions to replace the misspelled word.
- ● Click Search.
NOTE: Check Spelling only checks words that are four or more letters long .
