Abstract
The results of experiments comparing the relative performance of natural language and Boolean query formulations are presented.
The experiments show that on average a current generation natural language system provides better retrieval performance than expert searchers using a Boolean retrieval system when searching full-text legal materials.
Methodological issues are reviewed and the effect of database size on query formulation strategy is discussed.
