Westlaw & Lexis: Classic vs NextGen Platforms
Classic platforms
Navigate to a specific database – smaller DBs are cheaper
Compose a terms & connectors or natural language search
NextGen platforms
Search all content **optional to narrow by jurisdiction, type of content, or specific source)
Enter a simple search which will be processed by a complex, secret search algorithm
Post-search, filter results using facets
![Page 18: Research in the Real World - University of San Diegocatcher.sandiego.edu/items/usdlaw/real_world_research.pdf · Lexis Practice Guides & Encyclopedias: Matthew Bender, Witkin, Cal](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070818/5f159c8a1165ec03b66fbe45/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Search
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Terms & Connectors
NextGen search
Interprets your query Applies your search literally
NLP+ (interprets your query & adds to it)
Google-like
Looks for all terms
Ranks by:
• Proximity of terms to one another
• Location & frequency of terms
Always returns same number of results
Boolean Operators
Proximity Limiters
Truncation
Field/Segment
Searching
Complex & secret algorithm
Leverages:
• Crowdsourcing
• Digest
• Citator
• Secondary sources

The future…
Classic platforms are on their way out
• Lexis: within 2–3 years; starting this summer you must login via LexisAdvance
• Westlaw: no date announced
Boolean searching is still relevant
• can get better results even on nextgen platforms
• newest kid on the block, Bloomberg, encourages Boolean
Industry experts are still expecting Bloomberg to compete
