How do I find an item in my history?

You can search your history to find a previous search or search terms, a document from your results, a page you printed, or any other activity from up to the last 90 days.

Note: For Public Records, you can only find items in history for up to 10 days.

To do this:

  1. Take one of the following actions:
    • On the Lexis® home page, select the History pod, then select Research Map at the bottom of the pod.
    • From History at the top of any page, select Research Map.
  2. In the Search Within History box that appears at the top left of the page, type the words you want to search for.
    Example: You can enter the name (or part of the name) of a document, a document citation, a term (or terms) from a previous search, a matter ID, and so on.
  3. Select the search icon (Search). The system displays your results.
  4. To return to the history page you were viewing before searching your history, select Clear search above your results.
