Economic Indicators: TipsSample Searches (8)The following sample searches are provided as guides to general types of searches in the Economic Indicator databases.

This type of search returns documents based on the name of the issuing agency. To make your search more specific, modify the query by also including a date, section, or subject.
3. Search for the Table of Contents This type of search returns the Federal Register table of contents for a specific date. The browse feature allows you to view the entire table of contents from a single issue of the Federal Register from 1998 to the present. For databases between 1995 and 1998, follow steps similar to those shown below.
The above query returns documents from the contents section that were published in the Federal Register for August 21, 1997.
