LexisWeb

LexisNexis have released a new website called LexisWeb, this is a federated search tool that searches across a wide range of websites.

There is a short user guide which contains more information on the site, including the following:

"The LexisWeb product includes important, legal-oriented Web content, selected and validated by the LexisNexis editorial staff. The current beta version combines content from thousands of web sites and millions of Web pages, with more being added each day"

• Governmental agency information (federal, state, local)
• Informal commentary on legal issues (blogs specifically for lawyers and legal professionals)
• General web information about legal topics"

The search includes options to "narrow" or filter your results by Topic, Subject, Geography, Industry, Citation, Companies, People, Keyword and Source. For an example of a search on LexisWeb have a look at this.

Searching the site is currently free and all in all it looks quite useful although heavily US biased and with some strange search results!
