Restore headings on contents page, to match published statutues again
Until recently, chapter contents pages grouped sections under the headings used in the published ORSs. For example, the ORS 659A contents page had section headings Definitions, Purpose And Policy, Unlawful Employment Discrimination..., etc. Now, only the Definitions section heading is displayed.
Also, your old Chapter 659A title matched the statute: Chapter 659A Unlawful Discrimination in Employment, Public Accommodations and Real Property Transactions; Administrative and Civil Enforcement
Your new Chapter 659A titile is tuncated to: Chapter 659A Unlawful Discrimination in Employment, Public Accommodations

Smarter search feature
Make the search feature take one directly to the statute when one enters what is clearly a statute. For example, if one searches for "ORS 112.735" or even just "112.735," the search feature should just pull up the page for that statute, perhaps with a link to search for documents containing the term. Like when you enter "1 + 1" at Google: it recognizes the search as a math problem and takes you to a page with an answer (since that is what you most likely want), but also gives an option to search for pages containing the term.
Alternatively,…
3 votesNot a bad idea. Thanks. Currently, I solve this problem by making sure that this direct hit is the first in the result list. Implementing your idea might require some complicated UI design work. E.g., the statute page would need space to offer the option to go to further search results.

Show how & where to print forms.
I have been trying to print a usable Advance Directive form - I cannot find anywhere to do that. I found the instructions for ors.127.531 but cannot figure out how to print the actual form.

Would like subheadings back inside chapters
The site used to break down chapters in subheadings making it very easy to identify different sections of chapters. Can this be done again?

link code sections to google scholar cases interpreting the statute
Google scholar now has all US District court cases, all 9th cir decisions, and all SCOTUS decisions. It also has most state courts of appeals and supreme court decisions. Since legal research 101 is (a) look up the statute, then (b) look up cases referring to that statute, and you're providing (a), it would be nice to have (b) just one click away. In a sidebar maybe?
Or even zero clicks away- just pre-load the Scholar search via google's API. It probably wouldn't even slow your page load time.
Default options should be "Oregon and Federal Cases, Anytime"

Allow a way to eliminate prior search terms and searches
Tie your service to the delete files or clean up operations provided by Microsoft or services like Norton
1 voteThat’s a great idea. It should be made easy for a person to clear that out.

move Chapter 131A (Civil Forfeiture)

How are you getting NY statutes nightly?
Last I checked they were blocking IP addresses pretty aggressively. A great project though--I hope it gains traction.

Implement predictive search into your search bar
Implementing some sort of predictive search design into the UI on the main page would be extremely helpful.
Sometimes searching for the name of a specific ORS or OAR can be difficult and having a drop down when I type, for example, "theft" that shows me a drop down below the search bar to the various theft statutes without having to either search a vague enough term that is close enough to theft to get me there or type the specific name of the ORS such as "Theft in the second degree" would be helpful.
I thank you for your…
