The easiest way to conduct a citation search in the Lexis+ Database, is to use the single search box. 

Let's use this example Case:

Wright v Gasweld P/L (1991) 22 NSWLR 317.

The image below, illustrates the citation search in the Lexis+ Database - you will notice it is as simple as typing the following elements in the search box:

• the volume number: 22
• the Law Report Abbreviation: NSWLR (lowercase also works) and 
• the start page: 317
• it is not necessary to include the year

You will also notice that the Database has detected the case - to access the case, you have 2 options:

• click on the predictive text that pops up underneath, OR
• click the magnifying glass icon to the right. 

You will then be directed to the Case:
