The indexing of the Acts of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia has been expanded to include the Act number. This means that when you open a volume of the Acts of the Parliament you will now see a more detailed electronic table of contents with a section for each Act making, it easier to locate a specific Act of the Parliament. 

HeinOnline Enhancement: "Did You Mean?"

New "Did You Mean?" Feature Integrated Into Searching

We are pleased to introduce a spell checker feature which we have integrated with searching. When you run a search in HeinOnline, if you misspell a word, you will receive a message above your results that says, "Did you mean [term]." This will display the alternative spelling for your term and if you click on it, it will automatically generate a search for the correct spelling.
