Intelligent search is recommended in the following circumstances:
- When document number or enactment date are known;
- When a phrase defining the issue may be formulated, but the precise attributes of the document are not known.
Before using the intelligent search mode, define the search domain. For example, if the desired documents and materials relate to Russian legislation, regional legislation, judicial practice, or legal commentary, etc., use intelligent search to find the document in the specific area. If a search domain cannot be determined, it is necessary to start the intelligent search using all divisions.
To start the intelligent search, type in a search phrase in the Поиск: (Search:) box (zone 1 in Fig. 3) on the navigational bar and click on the Найти (Find) button (zone 3 in Fig. 3). If you start the search on the Кодекс: Право (KODEKS: Law) page, then search will include all divisions, and you start the search on a division page, then the search will include those areas chosen in the Где искать: (Where to Search) box (zone 2 in Fig. 3).
Based on search results, the system will sort retrieved documents by their relevancy to the context of the re-quest. At the top of page with the list of retrieved documents, the frequency of found words will appear.
Documents at the top of the list will be more relevant to your search and will very likely contain valuable information. When moving down the list, the relevance decreases.
Document Search by number and enactment date.
EXAMPLE No. 4.
Task: Retrieve by number and date from documents in example No. 1: No. 175-ФЗ of 23.12.2003
In the Поиск window on the KODEKS navigational bar, type "No. 175-ФЗ of 23.12.2003". In the Где искать: field, click on the arrow to view the drop down menu, choose "Законадательство РФ". Choose the Найти button.

Results will show a list of documents. At the top of the list will be the required document, as shown in Fig-ure 14.

Comparing between the search results of example No. 4 and example No. 1, you may note that in example No. 1, the search has resulted in the only document. This is due to the difference between the attribute-based and intelligent search algorithms. In the KODEKS system, each document has profile in which all details of this document are entered. During an attribute-based search for a document, data contained in the relevant panel fields are used. This results in more precise searching. During an intelligent search, document texts are looked through to find all the words from the request. An intelligent search often results in a larger number of documents, however desired documents will head the results list.
Now, let us use the Intelligent Search mode to retrieve documents, by keying a phrase defining a given issue.
EXAMPLE No. 5.
Task: Find documents relating to benefits for veterans.
Select the Законодательство России division on the Кодекс-Право page.
In the search panel on the navigation bar, type "льготы для ветеранов", as shown in Figure 15.
Fig. 15.
Note: do not use quotation marks in your search.
Click on the Найти button.
Your results will show a list of situations and themes, which relate most closely to your search, as well as a list of documents, sorted by relevance from 100 to 1 (Figure 16). Don't be afraid of the long list, which results from your search. The required document may be found at the top of the list.
At the top of the page, you may find the statistics of found words by Situation and Subjects which most closely relate to the search. Do look at these. They may help you in finding relevant documents.

Just as with attribute-based search by the Контекстный поиск (Context Search) attribute, documents resulting from intelligent search will open on the first word of a context request. Similarly, con-text words will be red colored in the text and have the >> (forward) and << (backward) links that allow browsing of all the context words by moving through them.
