Tip: I like using an Index when available. For most CCH products, a topical Index is available as well as other finding aids. On CCH IntelliConnect, however it can be a little tricky. I have better results when I select the alphabet letter I need and then use ctrl-f to look for my keyword. In this example from the Corporate Governance collection, I activated the letter “P” by clicking the blue page and then used ctrl-f to search for “political.” Mabie Law Library - Brown Bag Series - Fall 2010
You may also perform a keyword search for “all content” on CCH IntelliConnect and then filter the result by Document Type, Library or Jurisdiction. Mabie Law Library - Brown Bag Series - Fall 2010
