In times of ubiquitous Google search, legal search seems to be a commodity without any need for further discussions. In his presentation at IRIS 2015, Jörn Erbguth shows that search with Google as well as with legal databases is far from perfect. Starting with the requirements and the design, he presents the implementation of the new search at Swisslex. Linguistics, translation thesaurus and a rule engine are the basis for the cross-lingual search that, for example, retrieves documents in French with German search terms.
