Saving Your Search Results (History)

The LexisNexis® at lexis.com® services automatically save your search results and search strings in History. You can view your search results for 24 hours under the Recent Results tab. Your search strings, FOCUS™ strings, and any citations you used are saved under the Archived Activity tab for an additional 29 days. Each tab lists your searches, the number of documents retrieved, the source or service you used, your client ID, and the time of the search. You can use the Filter feature to sort your History results by Client ID or Date.
