All Nexis^® documents of a specific type are structured into common sections. In addition to the full text search (where you may enter terms to search through the entire document), you can perform a search within specific document sections. This refines the search by only looking through a specific part of the document; e.g., the headline of a news article.

Different types of documents have different document sections. For example, a case will not have the same sections as a newspaper article.
