Knowledge and Research Consultant Tip: Retrieve all documents from a single source on either Lexis® or Lexis+®
On both the Lexis® and Lexis+ platforms, users can retrieve all documents from a single source without entering search terms. Below are the steps for Lexis followed by the steps for Lexis+. Users have the option to conduct this type of search for a number of content types, though it’s more common in News, Law Reviews, Scientific materials, etc.
On the Lexis platform:
Type the name of the source/publication in the main search box and wait for the drop-down with suggestions for Sources:
![](/community/resized-image/__size/650x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-67/pastedimage1654758007208v1.png)
Click the name of the source. In this example, we’ve clicked on The Wall Street Journal. The Advanced Search template for that source will open next:![](/community/resized-image/__size/650x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-67/pastedimage1654758019830v2.png)
Click on the Actions drop-down menu and select Get all documents for this source. ![](/community/resized-image/__size/650x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-67/pastedimage1654758031326v3.png)
All documents for The Wall Street Journal will show up in your Results List. From there, set an alert, use the filters and/or use Search Within to narrow the results.
The process is similar on Lexis+ with one exception. Instead of getting documents from the Actions drop-down menu, ] click on the vertical ellipsis (three dots):
![](/community/resized-image/__size/650x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-67/pastedimage1654758064391v4.png)
Then click Get all documents for this source.
![](/community/resized-image/__size/650x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-67/pastedimage1654758087901v5.png)
