Legal research, now smarter
Introducing SmartSearch — an advanced natural language search that builds on SCC Online’s trusted keyword search to deliver more relevant results with greater ease.
SmartSearch represents the next step in how legal professionals conduct legal research on SCC Online making it easier to find the right judgments, statutes, and other authoritative legal materials using natural language, while continuing to receive results exclusively from the SCC Online database.
What is SmartSearch?
SmartSearch is SCC Online’s next-generation semantic search with natural language capabilities.
It is a natural evolution of traditional keyword search, designed to better understand context and intent so that relevant SCC Online materials are surfaced more efficiently.
Instead of relying on exact keywords or repeated refinements, SmartSearch allows users to search in plain, natural language and receive a ranked list of relevant SCC Online judgments, statutes, and commentaries.
Why SmartSearch?
Traditional keyword-based searches often require multiple attempts to arrive at the right results. SmartSearch improves this experience by enhancing how queries are interpreted and how results are ranked—reducing effort and saving time during legal research.
The result is fewer reformulations, clearer discovery, and a smoother research workflow.
