Keyword
Enter into the keyword input box the word(s) or phrase(s) that you wish to search for. The default search searches for your word or phrase in the CQ Researcher texts, titles, and index. You can deselect any of these three items to narrow your search to any combination of the three.
The word or phrase that you search for will be highlighted in the document when retrieved. Additionally, each section of the issue that contains your search terms will be indicated by blue text.
Date
You can narrow a search by date or date range. Using the From and To option, you can limit your search to only those CQ Researcher issues published within a certain date range. Using the Specific Date option, you can search for issues published on a specific date. And using the No Older Than option, you can search for issues from a specific date to the present. The default search does not put any limitations based on date.
Searching for Entire Issues or Specific Sections
This Web site enables you to search for entire issues of The CQ Researcher or for specific sections. If the Search Entire Issue option is used, results are returned listing the name of the issue, and the link brings you to that issue's abstract, which in turn links to all other sections of that issue. If you choose to search for specific sections, the Web site will use your other search criteria to search only on specific sections of The CQ Researcher. Results will display the name of the issues as well as the section(s) that meet your search criteria. The link from the search results page will bring you to the specific section, and from there you will still be able link to the other sections of that particular CQ Researcher issue. The default is to search for entire issues.
