LawInsider works by vacuuming up contracts and actual documents then applying AI and other techniques to parse these into a format that lends itself to querying disparate documents using some common approaches. Then the user can choose to search through either:

the entire text of the document, thus treating it like a flat object, or
specific attributes, thus treating it more like an object.

These attributes include:

clause
definition
category
country
jurisdiction
industry
filing_year
company
lawfirm
exhibit_id
filing_id
filing_type

This is in addition to the standard attributes:

q (meaning full document)
_index

Important Note on Format

The format is the same except for two special cases clause and contract, because those support what in the dashboard is called search within. We explain that here.

Basically for any other attribute you write:
"attribute name": {
     "value": "(put nothing here)"
   }
For example, below we search country = United States in the second example and in the first if clause is WHEREAS and WHEREAS includes the text Agreement. The first one is an example of search within, which again, is only possible for clauses and definitions.
 clause": {  
        "WHEREAS": "Agreement"
      },
      
     
 
   "country": {
     "United States": ""
   }
