How do I conduct a General Search?
If you know the number of the bill or the name of the member or number of the vote you're looking for, simply type it into the search bar and make sure to pause in order to let the search auto-populate (this is much easier than clicking the magnifying glass). See below.
Even if you don't know the exact member name or bill or vote number, you can always search by keywords (such as the the title of the bill or any word in the bill title, etc).
