Electronic Filing Event Searches
With event search functionality users may click the Search option on the CM/ECF Toolbar
and then enter one or more characters or a keyword in the Search Menus and Events
pop-up box text field.
This functionality permits users to execute more precise searches when selecting menu
items or civil and criminal events for electronic filing.
When the user enters one or more characters or a keyword in the Search Menus and
Events pop-up box text field and clicks the SEARCH button the system returns a
corresponding list displaying those menu items and events which match the character
pattern or key word entered.
The Search option queries the CM/ECF system by accessing the most current menu item
and event information available.
For example, when the user enters the characters "att" and clicks the SEARCH button, the
system returns a list of all matching menu items and events containing the words “attorney”
and “matter”, with corresponding links to each specific menu item and event.
Click on any of the matching menu items or events found and the system automatically
takes the user to that specific screen.
