On the homepage, click the Search Case Law button and click on the Manu/Title search and then type in your search query. Manu Search is a free text/ boolean search , whereas Title search only searches on the name of the appellant and respondent.

Which Boolean operators does the Manupatra Mobile recognize?
Manupatra recognizes the following Boolean Operators:

• AND, & Example: Copyright AND "Bare Acts" Returns all documents that contain both the first term and the second term. A "term" can be a single word or complete phrase. It only works when your search is set to Boolean Mode.
• OR Example: criminal OR Tax Finds documents with either 'criminal' or 'tax'. In other words, Returns all document that contain either the first term or the second term or both. A "term" can be a single word or complete phrase. Only works when your search is set to Boolean Mode.
• NOT Example: 1996 NOT 1995 Finds documents that contain the first word, but do not contain the second. Occasionally useful to exclude irrelevant documents that contain unique words or titles. Only works in Boolean Mode. In other words, finds documents that don't contain '1995'. "Example: ""crime" and "Income tax"" Returns all documents containing that phrase. Note that quotes are necessary. Without quotes the search will be for all documents with crime that also contain the word income and tax (the three words not necessarily appearing next to each other).
• Ordered proximity Example: "corporate tax law"/10 Finds documents with 'corporate', 'tax' and 'law' within 10 words, in the order given.
• Unordered proximity Example: "technical resource acquisition"@5 Finds documents with 'technical', 'resource' and 'acquisition' within 5 words, in any order.
• Single character wildcard Example: *wom?n*th?? Finds documents with 'woman', 'women', etc., or 'this', 'that', 'them', etc.
• Multiple character wildcardExample: *a*n *work* Finds documents with 'an', 'addition', 'assign', etc., or 'work', 'works', 'working', etc.
