Acts/ Bills/ Legislative Instruments Advanced Search :
Use the Quick search box to quickly search for document titles or document contents. You can use the drop-down menu to change which categories of documents you are searching;
Related : Commerce Commission Making a Complaint New Zealand : www.statusin.org/11945.html
you can also toggle between searching titles and searching contents.
Quick search searches only the following types of legislation:
** principal in-force Acts and Legislative Instruments
** principal and amendment Acts and Legislative Instruments that are not yet in force
** current Bills
** Other Instruments (titles only, not contents).
Quick search does not search:
** in-force amendment legislation
** repealed Acts
** revoked Legislative Instruments
** Bills that are not current (enacted and terminated Bills)
** content within Other Instruments.
Use the Advanced search tab to search across all legislation on the website.
Title search:
This is the default. Type in one or two words from the document’s title in any order. As you type, a list of suggestions will appear. (Note that not-yet-in-force amendment legislation is excluded from this list of suggestions, but will still be included in Quick search results.)
Content search:
Click on content to change from title search. A content search looks for words within documents, as well as words in the titles. This option is not available for Other Instruments.
Refine your search:
You can use Boolean and other terms to refine your search. See Search help for more information. Note that stemming is always applied to Quick search, so for example a search for govern will also find governs, governed, and governing. If you wish to turn stemming off, you can do this using Advanced search.
Advanced search :
The Advanced search tab lets you search across Acts, Bills, Legislative Instruments, Other Instruments, or any combination of these.
Use Advanced search to narrow your search by specifying year, document number, and section or clause number.
Use Advanced search to narrow your search by type. For Acts you can select any combination of public, local, private, provincial, and imperial Acts. For Bills you can select any combination of Government, local, private, and members’ Bills.
Use Advanced search to widen your search to include :
** amendment Acts or Legislative Instruments in force
** as-enacted Acts or as-made Legislative Instruments (as they were before any amendments were made to them)
** repealed or revoked Acts or Legislative Instruments
** enacted or terminated Bills.
Note that only the title and year fields of Other Instruments can be searched. If you include Other Instruments in a search that specifies criteria in the title or year fields, plus other fields, Other Instruments will be returned in the results if they fit the title or year criteria. If you include Other Instruments in a search that does not specify any criteria for title or year, no Other Instruments will be returned.
To find out about the different options under Advanced search, hover your mouse over the ? symbols, or click them for more information. See also What is on this website.
When searching content, you can use the drop-down list to govern your search—useful if you enter more than one word. When searching years, you can enter a range of years.
Stemming is applied by default to the title and content fields; untick the box to turn it off. Stemming means that variants of a word are included in the search, as well as the word itself. So, for example, with stemming turned on a search for govern will also find governs, governed, and governing. If you use quotation marks to define a phrase, or select “This exact phrase” for searching content, stemming will still apply to words in the phrase unless you turn it off.
When searching title or content, there are other ways to refine your search, such as by using Boolean terms. See Search help for more information.

My recent searches:
Click on My recent searches under Quick Search for a list of all the searches you have performed in the past 13 days. To repeat a search, click on its name. You can then see what specific search terms you used, and modify them if you wish, by clicking on Modify search options.
Browsing:
Use the Browse tab to produce lists of titles, and then view the documents you want.
You can browse by title or by year. You can browse any combination of Acts, Bills, and Legislative Instruments, or you can browse Other Instruments. You can include or exclude amendment Acts or Legislative Instruments, and enacted Bills.
Note that you cannot browse for repealed or enacted Acts, revoked or as-made Legislative Instruments, or terminated Bills. Find them using Advanced search instead.
Navigate around search and browse results:
If your search or browse finds any documents, you will see their titles listed. To view one of the documents, click on its title.
Some documents may display a message in the Alerts column. If there are amendments to be made to the document that have not yet been incorporated, “Some amendments have not yet been incorporated” is displayed. If some of those amendments are already in force, a warning icon is also displayed. Clicking on the message will take you to the document’s Versions and amendments tab for further details. (Note that this does not apply to Other Instruments.)
If your results include documents of more than one type (ie a mixture of Acts, Bills, Legislative Instruments, Other Instruments), a column specifying Type is displayed. If your results only include Other Instruments, the results will be displayed ordered by the authorising Act under which they were made.
You can change how your results are presented. Sort by: shows how the results are sorted, and lets you select other options. By default, title searches and browses are sorted by title, while content searches are sorted by number of hits. (This does not apply to Other Instruments.) Show: lets you select the number of results per page. The default is 25.
If you performed a content search, you can click on the number of hits for a particular document to see a list of where those hits appear. Then, clicking on the provision heading will take you to the relevant provision in the document.
