Tips for using advanced search options in Plural

Using Plural's filters and search preferences can be key to finding what matters to you.

Filters and Search Preferences

Beyond Boolean logic, Plural offers further opportunities to narrow your search. Notable options include:

Legislatures and Sessions

These are the ‘where?’ and the ‘when’ of your search. Plural has decades of legislative data from across the entire United States. Our data allows you to customize your search to your needs while covering a massive amount of legislative territory.

Bill Status

Filtering by bill status can be especially valuable when looking back on a completed legislative session or assessing the progress of a legislature so far.

Show Only Momentum Bills

Plural harnesses the power of AI to help deepen your legislative insights. Our Momentum Indicator determines a bill’s likelihood of coming up for a final passage vote by the end of session. Filtering your search result to show only momentum bills enables you to see the most viable bills.

Bill Action

Plural’s bill action dropdown allows you to filter according to first action, latest action, introduction, passage, and so on. Many of our users take advantage of this filter to isolate bills passed in a given week, for example.
